Conception Bay South lights its holiday tree outside Town Hall on the first Thursday of December, with carols sung by the CBS Youth Choir and hot chocolate to keep hands warm.
It starts at 4 pm, early enough for young kids to see the tree flick on without a late night, and the town collects non-perishable food for the CBS/Paradise Food Bank.
Parent tip: Bring a can or two for the food bank bin, and stand near the front so little ones can see the choir.

The Santa Claus Parade travels along Conception Bay Highway from Villanova Junior High to Town Hall on a Saturday morning, and the town bills it as a community event for children and families.
Kids can hand their letters to Santa’s volunteers along the route, and a Sensory Friendly Zone between Shoppers Drug Mart and the RNC building keeps sirens off, lights steady and music low.
Parent tip: The town decides by 8 am on parade day whether to move it to Sunday, December 6 at 2 pm, so check its social media before you head out, and have the letters to Santa ready.

The town kicks off its Christmas season by inviting families to bring the dog (or cat) to Manuels River Centre for a photo with Santa, with every donation going to the local animal charity Beagle Paws.
Sessions are booked in 10-minute slots through the Town’s online registration portal, and the Humane Services team is on site with free treats and pet licensing, so kids can get the whole family, furry members included, into one Christmas picture.
Parent tip: Book a morning slot so pets and toddlers are both fresh, and bring a favourite toy or treat to get the dog looking at the camera.

A story for the drive home

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.
