Santa's Giftshop

Make Santa's Gift Shop part of your holiday tradition!

Located just inside the Poinsettia Arch at the main entrance to the park, Santa's Gift Shop is filled with festive finds, thoughtful gifts and a little something for every budget.

We believe a little Christmas shopping shouldn't come with a big price tag! That's why we make an extra effort to keep our gifts affordable, so everyone can enjoy a little holiday shopping under the lights.

Open December 1–31, 6–9 PM, weather permitting.

Cash, debit, Visa and Mastercard accepted.

Food & Beverages

A little something to warm you up!

Chilly evening? Stop by our Festival Concession, located under the picnic shelter, for a steaming cup of hot chocolate, coffee or hot apple cider. Just $3 a cup!

We've also got bottled water, canned pop, cotton candy and a selection of chips for those looking for a little treat.

Then gather around one of our fire pits, sip something warm and enjoy the lights. Bring your own marshmallows and roasting sticks for a little extra fireside fun!

Every purchase helps keep the holiday magic glowing.

Cash, debit, Visa and Mastercard accepted.

Skating

There's something special about skating under the Christmas lights!

Nose Creek Pond is a favourite winter gathering place, right in the heart of the Festival displays. Bring your skates, bundle up and enjoy a little outdoor winter fun with family and friends.

Please note: Hockey sticks and hockey games are not permitted on the pond between 6–9 PM during the Festival.
