Tweens make a gingerbread-themed diamond art painting in the library's Family Place Room. The hour is reserved for ages 9 to 12, so older kids get a holiday project of their own apart from the younger children's programs.
It runs Wednesday, December 16, 2026, from 4:00 to 5:00 pm. Registration is required and opens Wednesday, November 25 at 4:00 pm. The library asks families to choose yes for the SMS reminder when they sign up.
Parent tip: Registration opens at 4:00 pm on November 25, the afternoon before Thanksgiving, which is an easy day to forget, so put it in your calendar. Say yes to the text reminder, because a 4:00 pm weekday start comes up fast after school.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

The story of Christmas in Beaumont
Beaumont sits at the summit of the San Gorgonio Pass, and its name, French for beautiful mountain, was given in 1887 because San Jacinto Peak is visible from town. In December the Beaumont Library District hands local kids a sweeter kind of building project, with gingerbread house workshops and a gingerbread craft hour for tweens.
How Beaumont celebrates
The confirmed 2026 listings come from the Beaumont Library District, the independent special district that provides library services to Beaumont and Cherry Valley. On Saturday, December 5 it holds a Gingerbread House Workshop for ages 4 to 12 in its Family Place Room, with sessions at 10:30 am, 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm and all materials provided. On Wednesday, December 16 the same room hosts Tween Gingerbread Diamond Art for ages 9 to 12. Both programs require registration, which opens on November 14 for the workshop and November 25 for the tween session.
Fun facts about Christmas in Beaumont
The Southern Pacific Railroad laid tracks through the area in 1875 and set up a stop called Summit Station. A town named San Gorgonio was established in 1884, and it was renamed Beaumont in 1887 and incorporated on November 18, 1912. Early residents called it the land of the big red apple for its orchards. The 2020 census counted 53,036 people.
Traditions today
- Gingerbread House Workshop: On December 5 the Beaumont Library District gives children ages 4 to 12 the materials to build and decorate their own gingerbread house.
- Tween Gingerbread Diamond Art: On December 16 the library sets aside an hour for ages 9 to 12 to make a gingerbread diamond art painting.
- The Family Place Room: Both of the library's gingerbread programs are held in its Family Place Room.
- The town library: Beaumont already had a public library by 1927, and today the Beaumont Library District serves both Beaumont and Cherry Valley.
A fact for kids
Beaumont means beautiful mountain in French. Long ago people also called the town the land of the big red apple, because so many apples grew there.
Questions about Christmas in Beaumont
How did Beaumont, California get its name?
Beaumont is French for beautiful mountain. Henry C. Sigler, president of the Southern California Investment Company, gave the town the name in 1887 because San Jacinto Peak is nearby and can be seen from the city.
When was Beaumont founded?
A real estate development company established a town called San Gorgonio in 1884. A second company bought it in 1887 and renamed it Beaumont. The city was incorporated on November 18, 1912, and by 1927 it had a population of 857.
Did the railroad come through Beaumont?
Yes. The Southern Pacific Railroad laid tracks through what is now Beaumont in 1875 and established a rail station named Summit Station. It served as a rest stop for railway travelers coming from the Mojave Desert on their way to the Los Angeles area.
Where is Beaumont?
Beaumont is in Riverside County, in the Inland Empire, at the summit of the San Gorgonio Pass between San Bernardino and Palm Springs. Its neighboring cities are Banning to the east and Calimesa to the northwest, and Interstate 10 runs past the city.
Why was Beaumont called the land of the big red apple?
In its early years Beaumont was one of Riverside County's largest apple growers, and local residents gave it that nickname. Apple orchards in the area had expanded into a $200,000 industry by 1930.
Does it snow in Beaumont at Christmas time?
Snow does fall in Beaumont, but it usually does not stick for more than a couple of hours. Because of its higher elevation, the city is usually colder than lower neighbors such as Moreno Valley and the Palm Springs desert area, with an average winter low of 38 degrees Fahrenheit.
What happens at Christmas for kids in Beaumont?
The Beaumont Library District has two confirmed programs for 2026: a Gingerbread House Workshop for ages 4 to 12 on Saturday, December 5, in three sessions, and Tween Gingerbread Diamond Art for ages 9 to 12 on Wednesday, December 16 from 4:00 to 5:00 pm.
Who runs these Christmas programs?
The Beaumont Library District organizes both. It is a California special district, independent of both city and county government, that provides library services to Beaumont and Cherry Valley. Both programs are held in the library's Family Place Room.
Do the library's Christmas programs cost anything?
The listings do not show a price. The Gingerbread House Workshop page says all materials are provided, and both programs require registration in advance. Registration opens November 14 for the workshop and November 25 for the tween diamond art session.
What other festivals is Beaumont known for?
Beaumont is home to the Annual Cherry Festival, which celebrated its 100th anniversary from May 31 to June 3, 2018. The nearby Highland Springs Resort, established in 1884, hosts an Annual Lavender Festival in June and an Olive and Wine Faire in October.
