Rally the corgi has sniffed out the Christmas events for kids in Cornwall for 2026, and both are at the Cornwall Public Library on Second Street East. Kids can help build a miniature holiday village every Saturday morning from November 28 to December 19, and on December 19 Santa’s Secret Workshop lets them make top-secret gifts for the family. Both dates come from the library’s own events calendar. For more across the country, see our Canada Christmas events for kids guide.

Expand to see the parent tip
Every Saturday morning from November 28 to December 19, kids help the Cornwall Public Library build a tiny holiday village, crafting a different piece each week until the whole snowy town is finished.
Families can also take home a building kit to turn into a miniature house, shop, library or fire station and bring it back to add to the village, so kids get to watch their own creation become part of the display through December.
Parent tip: Pick up a take-and-make kit on the first Saturday so your child has a building ready to add before the village is complete on December 19.

Secret gift workshop
Santa's Secret Workshop
- When: Saturday, December 19, 2026, 1:30 to 4 pm
- Where: Cornwall Public Library, Programming Rooms 1 and 2, 45 Second St. East, Cornwall, ON K6H 5V1 (opens in maps)
- Cost: Library program; see the listing for details
- Ages: Children, teens and families
Expand to see the parent tip
Santa's elves take over the library's programming rooms the Saturday before Christmas so kids and teens can make handmade gifts for their families from a table of festive crafts.
The whole point is secrecy, so the library asks parents not to peek, and children leave with a wrapped surprise to hide under the tree until December 25.
Parent tip: Send a list of who the gifts are for, and have a tote bag ready so the wrapped surprises stay hidden on the way home.

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.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
