This is a glass fusing class at Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio where you lay out small mosaic squares of glass in a holiday design of your own. The finished square is then slumped into the shape of a candy dish.
The scheduled class is Tuesday, November 17, 2026, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., and the cost is $42.50. The same dish can also be made as a walk-in fusing project whenever the studio is open, and you choose Tuesday night or walk-in when you book on the studio's product page.
Parent tip: The page gives no minimum age, and this is a two-hour glass class on a school night, so call the studio before booking for a child. The walk-in option lets you make the same dish at an hour that works better for younger makers.

Wavy Christmas Trees
- When: Saturday, November 21, 2026, 10 am to noon
- Where: Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio, 2200 Barksdale Blvd, Bossier City, LA 71112 (opens in maps)
- Cost: $52 per scene, materials included
- Ages: No age range listed; ask the studio before booking for a child
Expand to see the parent tip
In this Saturday morning class at Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio you build a stand-up glass scene of Christmas trees, whether a few brightly colored ones or a whole field of them. No glass experience is needed, and the piece is meant as holiday decor for your own home or as a gift.
The class is on Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to noon. The $52 fee covers everything needed to make one scene, and booking is through the studio's product page.
Parent tip: This is the morning option among the studio's holiday classes, which is easier on younger makers than the Tuesday night sessions, but the page gives no minimum age, so confirm with the studio first. The fee covers one scene, so budget per person if each child wants to make their own.

Scrappy Christmas Ornaments
- When: Tuesday, November 24, 2026, 6:30 to 8:30 pm (Also offered as a walk-in fusing project.)
- Where: Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio, 2200 Barksdale Blvd, Bossier City, LA 71112 (opens in maps)
- Cost: $40 for a 6 by 6 inch tile of ornaments
- Ages: No age range listed; ask the studio before booking for a child
Expand to see the parent tip
Leftover scraps of glass become Christmas ornaments in this fusing class at Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio. You can work in glass noodles, stringers or pre-cut shapes for texture, and you make as many ornaments as you can fit on a 6 by 6 inch tile.
The scheduled class is Tuesday, November 24, 2026, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., and it costs $40. It can also be done as a walk-in fusing project, and you pick Tuesday night or walk-in when you book on the studio's product page.
Parent tip: Because the $40 covers a whole tile of ornaments, one booking can turn out several small gifts for grandparents or teachers. Ask the studio about ages before bringing a child, since the page lists none and the class works with glass scraps.

Gingerbread Ornaments
- When: Tuesday, December 8, 2026, 6:30 to 8:30 pm (Also offered as a walk-in fusing project any time the studio is open.)
- Where: Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio, 2200 Barksdale Blvd, Bossier City, LA 71112 (opens in maps)
- Cost: $30 for two ornaments
- Ages: No age range listed; ask the studio before booking for a child
Expand to see the parent tip
Each person makes two gingerbread house ornaments in glass at Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio and decorates them however they like. At $30 it is the lowest priced of the studio's holiday classes listed here.
The scheduled class is Tuesday, December 8, 2026, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., and the cost is $30. You can also make the ornaments as a walk-in fusing project any time the studio is open, choosing Tuesday night or walk-in when you book.
Parent tip: Two ornaments per booking makes this an easy one for a parent and child to share, but the page does not list a minimum age, so check with the studio first. If an 8:30 p.m. finish is too late for a school night, book the walk-in option instead.

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 Bossier City
Bossier City grew up at a Red River landing once recorded in ferry log books as Cane's Landing, and for a short while the place was called Cane City. This season's confirmed holiday listings for the city come from an art glass studio on Barksdale Boulevard, where the classes turn out Christmas keepsakes in fused glass.
How Bossier City celebrates
The holiday programs confirmed for Bossier City this season come from a single organizer, Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio on Barksdale Boulevard. From mid November into December 2026 the studio schedules a run of Christmas glass fusing classes: a candy dish on November 17, stand-up Christmas tree scenes on November 21, scrap glass ornaments on November 24 and gingerbread house ornaments on December 8. Three of the four can also be made as walk-in projects during the studio's open hours. These are paid classes booked through the studio's website, and its pages do not describe parades, tree lightings or Santa visits.
Fun facts about Christmas in Bossier City
Bossier City sits on the eastern bank of the Red River across from Shreveport and had 62,701 residents at the 2020 census. Around 1907 the settlement of Cane City was incorporated and renamed Bossier City, taking the name of a parish that honors Pierre Evariste John Baptiste Bossier. On July 12, 1884, Julia Rule, known as Pansy, drove the golden spike here that completed the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific Railroad, the first such spike driven by a woman. Shed Road, built in the 1870s, was the first all-weather turnpike in the American South.
Traditions today
- Christmas Candy Dish class: Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio opens its holiday schedule on November 17 with a class where mosaic squares of glass are slumped into a candy dish.
- Wavy Christmas Trees: A Saturday morning class on November 21 has makers build a stand-up glass scene of Christmas trees.
- Scrappy Christmas Ornaments: On November 24 the studio turns scrap glass into as many ornaments as fit on a 6 by 6 inch tile.
- Gingerbread Ornaments: On December 8 each person makes and decorates two gingerbread house ornaments in glass.
- Walk-in fusing projects: The candy dish, scrap ornaments and gingerbread ornaments can also be made as walk-in projects when the studio is open.
A fact for kids
Long before highways, Bossier City had a road with a roof. Shed Road was an elevated, covered roadway that ran for 9 miles, from Red Chute to the Red River, and made it easier to move goods before the railroads came.
Questions about Christmas in Bossier City
When was Bossier City founded?
Lots in the riverfront settlement were sold in 1883, when the unincorporated area was often called Cane City. Around 1907 Louisiana Governor Newton C. Blanchard incorporated Cane City, the village was renamed Bossier City, and Ewald Max Hoyer was appointed as its first mayor.
How did Bossier City get its name?
The city carries the name of Bossier Parish, which was created in 1843 and named in honor of Pierre Evariste John Baptiste Bossier, a former Creole general who became a cotton planter in the parish. Before the renaming, the settlement was known as Cane City.
What was Cane's Landing?
Cane's Landing was the loading and unloading dock of the Elysian Grove plantation on the Red River, recorded under that name in old ferry log books. A ferry ran between the two banks at this point, and for a very short time the landing was known as Cane City.
What is the golden spike story in Bossier City?
On July 12, 1884, Julia Rule, known as Pansy, drove a golden spike at Bossier City to mark the completion of the east to west Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific Railroad. It was the first such spike to be driven by a woman.
What was Shed Road?
Shed Road was the first all-weather turnpike in the American South. Built in the 1870s and operated from 1874 to 1886, the elevated, covered roadway ran 9 miles from Red Chute to the Red River and made moving goods easier before the railroads arrived.
What happens at Christmas in Bossier City for kids?
The holiday listings confirmed for 2026 are glass fusing classes at Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio: a Christmas Candy Dish on November 17, Wavy Christmas Trees on November 21, Scrappy Christmas Ornaments on November 24 and Gingerbread Ornaments on December 8. The studio's pages do not list an age range.
Where are these Bossier City holiday classes held?
All four are held at Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio, listed at 2200 Barksdale Boulevard. The boulevard shares its name with Barksdale Air Force Base, where construction began in the 1930s and which Bossier City eventually grew to surround.
Who organizes them?
Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio runs the classes and takes bookings through product pages on its website. Each page gives the date, time and price, and three of the four projects can also be booked as walk-in fusing projects during the studio's open hours.
Is anything free at Christmas in Bossier City?
Not among the listings confirmed here. The classes are all paid: $30 for Gingerbread Ornaments, $40 for Scrappy Christmas Ornaments, $42.50 for the Christmas Candy Dish and $52 for Wavy Christmas Trees. The studio says the Wavy Christmas Trees fee covers everything needed to make one scene.
How many people live in Bossier City?
The 2020 census counted 62,701 residents. Bossier City lies on the eastern bank of the Red River, across from its sister city of Shreveport, and is the second most populous city in the Shreveport and Bossier City metropolitan area.

Bossier City Christmas events for kids: questions parents ask
What is the best Christmas activity for kids in Bossier City to start with?
Of the classes confirmed here, Gingerbread Ornaments at Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio is the simplest starting point. It is on Tuesday, December 8, 2026, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., costs $30 and has each person make two gingerbread house ornaments. The page lists no age range, so ask the studio before booking for a child.
Are there free Christmas events for kids in Bossier City?
None of the events confirmed for this guide is free. All four are paid glass classes at Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio, priced on the studio's pages at $30 for Gingerbread Ornaments, $40 for Scrappy Christmas Ornaments, $42.50 for the Christmas Candy Dish and $52 for Wavy Christmas Trees.
Where can kids meet Santa in Bossier City?
The organizer pages used for this guide do not include a Santa visit. The four confirmed listings are all hands-on glass classes at Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio between November 17 and December 8, 2026, so families looking for Santa will need to check other local calendars.
Do the Bossier City holiday classes need to be booked?
Yes. Each class is booked and paid for through its product page on the Ed's Emporium website. The Christmas Candy Dish, Scrappy Christmas Ornaments and Gingerbread Ornaments can be booked either for the scheduled Tuesday night class or as a walk-in fusing project during the studio's open hours.
Are the glass classes at Ed's Emporium suitable for children?
The studio's class pages do not state a minimum age or say who the classes are for. The Wavy Christmas Trees page says no experience is needed. Because the projects are made with pieces of glass and most sessions run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., contact the studio before booking a place for a child.
Is there a weekend holiday class in Bossier City?
Wavy Christmas Trees is the weekend option. It runs on Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to noon at Ed's Emporium Art Glass Studio, and the $52 fee covers everything needed to make one stand-up scene of glass Christmas trees. The other three confirmed classes are on Tuesday nights.
Are there Christmas train rides for kids near Bossier City?
Santa trains and holiday train rides have their own guide: Rally Takes the Train’s Louisiana Christmas train rides guide. This Bossier City guide covers Santa visits, story times, light shows and other events off the rails.
