DECEMBER 12 & 13
STEP INTO A CHRISTMAS ADVENTURE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
Save the date and join us at Central Christian for Destination Christmas on December 12 and 13 from 5–8 PM! Experience all your favorite Christmas traditions in this walk-through holiday event filled with thousands of lights, festive music, and fun for the whole family.
Admission is free, but we invite you to bring a non-perishable food item—such as cereal, canned goods, or pasta—to help bless families in need within our community.
Festivities run continuously from 5–8 PM both nights, so you can arrive whenever it works best for you. The Christmas Show lasts about 17 minutes and repeats every 25 minutes. You can explore the rest of the walk-through experience at your own pace and enjoy each section as long as you’d like.
FAQs
Have questions? We have the answers!
How much is admission to Destination Christmas?
Destination Christmas is 100% FREE! It’s our gift to the community.
Will there be photos with Santa?
We will have professional lighting and a studio quality backdrop set up in Santa’s Workshop for pictures with Santa, but we’re leaving the picture taking up to you. That way we can keep this event totally free for our community. Make sure you bring your smart phone or camera to capture this magical moment with your little ones. If you want a shot with the whole family, we’re sure Mrs. Claus or one of the elves would be happy to snap one for you!
What ages will enjoy Destination Christmas the most?
There’s something for kids and adults of ALL AGES. For the most part, you’ll walk through Destination Christmas at your own pace and we’ve done our best to include something in each section that the whole family can enjoy. You can spend as long as you’d like in each area.
Is Destination Christmas an indoor or outdoor event?
Both! About half of the walk-through experience takes place indoors with the other half taking place outdoors. Dress accordingly.
What is the Tinsel Trail?
A magical lighted walk-through experience through our beautifully wooded property. This is a mulch trail approximately 100 yards long filled with lights and decorations.
Do I need to get there right at 5pm? How long does it last?
Festivities run continuously from 5pm-8pm on both nights so you can join us at whatever time works best for you. The Christmas Show runs about 17 minutes and will repeat every 25 minutes. For the rest of the walk-through experience, you’re welcome to move at your own pace and spend as much time in each section as you’d like.
