The Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce presents the 36th Annual Cheyenne Christmas Parade on Saturday, November 28, starting at 5:30 p.m. in historic downtown Cheyenne. This year's theme is Believe in the Magic, and the streets fill with floats, twinkling lights and holiday music.

The Visit Cheyenne holiday guide describes the parade as Santa's grand debut. The Clauses arrive in western style and officially kick off the Old West Holiday season downtown. Families are invited to line the streets and watch together. The parade route had not been posted yet when the page was checked, so look for the route map on the parade page closer to the date. The page also points to shopping at local downtown businesses and a poinsettia fundraiser tied to the parade.

Parent tip: The route was listed as coming soon, so check the parade page before you go. Plan for cold evening weather.

On three December Saturdays, Santa's elves help kids write their letters to Santa at Chronicles Post & Station in downtown Cheyenne. Letters go into a special mailbox, and a Pony Express rider gallops in at noon and again at 2 pm to collect them and carry them to the post office. The letter writing station is open from 10 am to 4 pm.

This stop suits kids old enough to write or draw a wish list, and younger siblings will likely enjoy seeing the horse and rider arrive. Plan your visit around noon or 2 pm if you want to catch the Pony Express. It is one of several Old West Holiday stops downtown, so it pairs well with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Whipple House on the same Saturdays. The page does not list a price or registration.

Parent tip: Time your visit for the noon or 2 pm Pony Express pick-up. The station is listed at 15th St. and Thomes Ave. downtown, open Saturdays only.

Visit Cheyenne's Old West Holiday program lists Meet Santa's Horses at Kringle Ranch on three Saturdays, December 5, 12 and 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The stop is at the corner of 15th Street and Pioneer Avenue in downtown Cheyenne.

The event is part of three weekends of hands-on holiday activities downtown. On the same Saturdays you can also find photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Whipple House and letter writing with Santa's elves at Chronicles Post and Station, so it works well as one stop in a longer family outing. The page describes the weekends as merry moments and hands-on fun for families. Kringle Ranch is also one of the Santa Stops on the Old West Holiday passport and map, which goes live December 1.

Parent tip: The passport and map go live December 1 on the Old West Holiday site. Bring warm layers for time outdoors.

During Cheyenne's Old West Holiday, Santa and Mrs. Claus set up at the Whipple House on East 17th Street for photos with families. Visit Cheyenne lists the visit on three Saturdays in December, from 10 am to 4 pm each day, as part of a downtown lineup of holiday stops.

This is a good fit for families who want a Santa photo in a historic downtown setting and plan to make a morning or afternoon of the other Old West Holiday stops nearby, such as the elf letter writing station and Santa's horses at Kringle Ranch. Visit Cheyenne also offers an Old West Holiday passport and map, released December 1, that guides families along the Santa trail. The page does not list a price or say whether you need to book ahead.

Parent tip: Santa and Mrs. Claus are there on Saturdays only, 10 am to 4 pm. Download the Old West Holiday passport and map from Visit Cheyenne to plan other downtown stops the same day.

The Laramie County Library in Cheyenne invites children and families to its Early Literacy Center on Tuesday, December 8, 2026, from 4:30 to 6 pm to build graham cracker gingerbread houses. The library provides all of the building materials, and kids bring the creativity.

This is a hands-on, after-school drop-in program, and supplies are limited, so the event is first come, first served. Arriving near the 4:30 pm start gives your family the best chance at a full set of materials. It is a good fit for children who enjoy building and decorating, and it gives families a simple holiday project to carry home. The Early Literacy Center is inside the main library on Pioneer Avenue, so you can also pick up a stack of winter picture books while you are there.

Parent tip: Supplies are limited and handed out first come, first served, so arrive close to 4:30 pm.

The Laramie County Library System hosts a festive holiday version of its monthly Tips and Tricks for Toddlers on Monday, December 14, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in the Early Literacy Center at the Cheyenne library.

The program is a support and information forum for caregivers of infants and toddlers, blending evidence-informed practices with real life.

The calendar lists the audience as Pre-K, ages 0 to 5, and the category as Story Time and Literacy. No registration button appears on the event page, so it appears to be a drop-in program, but you can call the library to confirm.

Parent tip: Caregivers stay with their children. Call the library if you want to confirm there is no sign-up.

Cuentos y Amigos is a special Spanish and English storytime presented by the Laramie County Library System in collaboration with CHISPA of Cheyenne. The December session on Wednesday, December 16, runs from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Early Literacy Center, and this month's theme is Christmas.

It is a good fit for bilingual households and for families who want to introduce Spanish through holiday books and songs. The session is held in the Early Literacy Center at the main Cheyenne library on Pioneer Avenue, a space designed with young children in mind. The event page does not mention registration, and the calendar shows no sign-up requirement.

Parent tip: The session is in the evening, so it works for families with school-age children.

Book Babies: Winter Wonderland is a special seasonal edition of the Laramie County Library's regular program for babies, held on Friday, December 18, 2026, from 10:15 to 11 am in the Sage Room at the main library in Cheyenne. It is listed under the library's Story Time and Literacy programs for the Pre-K audience.

The morning starts with a short early literacy class for caregivers and babies, then moves on to winter-themed activities designed for little hands to explore. The library suggests dressing babies in play clothes because the activities could get messy. It is a gentle way to enjoy a festive outing with an infant or young toddler during the busy week before the holidays, and it gives caregivers a few new ideas for reading and playing at home over the winter break.

Parent tip: Dress your baby in play clothes, since the winter activities may get messy.

Local community members judge on December 17 and 18, and winners hear the news on Saturday, December 19.

Fun fact: in 1880, Thomas Edison put together the earliest electric Christmas lights display. The Pine Bluffs Branch Library asks everyone to help decorate the building with paper light bulbs. Stop by any day from December 1 to December 12, and you will find everything required to design a bulb of your own.

Every finished bulb is hung in the library's display, letting families watch it expand over two weeks. All ages can take part. You can just show up, and the calendar shows no sign-up. It is a calm, easygoing craft that suits little ones and pairs well with checking out a book. If you cannot find the supplies, ask the front desk.

Parent tip: Come by during normal library hours any day from December 1 to 12.

The Pine Bluffs Branch Library runs a drop-in Tuesday Crafternoon, and December's theme is holiday tree magic. The calendar lists a paper loop tree on December 1, a cupcake liner tree on December 8, a fabric tree ornament on December 15, bubble wrap tree prints on December 22 and a fingerprint winter tree on December 29.

The Pine Bluffs Branch Library hosts an afternoon of holiday movie magic for families on Friday, December 11, from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Come comfortable, because pajamas are welcome.

A concessions stand offers a snack at the cost of one quick review of a favorite book, which gives kids a fun reason to talk about what they have been reading. Then everyone settles in to watch The Polar Express. The page notes the movie begins at 1:30 p.m. After the film, stay for a short holiday-themed activity. This is a screening of the movie at the library and not a train ride.

The Burns Branch Library, a short drive east of Cheyenne, runs a family-friendly film every Friday afternoon, and December's picks are holiday favorites. The calendar lists The Grinch on December 4, The Santa Clause on December 11 and The Polar Express on December 18. Each showing runs from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

It is an easy way to mix a little holiday spirit into a winter afternoon in Laramie County. Since the three films change each week, families can attend one showing or come back for all three.

Parent tip: Dates and film titles come from the library calendar and can change, so check the event page before you go.

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.
