North Delta Christmas Tree Lighting

Expand to see the parent tip

The City of Delta’s North Delta celebration packs face painting, crafts, cookie decorating, ice skating and a Letters to Santa station into one outdoor evening, with an artisan market and food vendors alongside.

Santa poses for family photos from 5 to 6:45 pm, then joins Delta Council at 7 pm to switch on the North Delta Christmas tree. Afterwards there is a $5 holiday movie with popcorn at the North Delta Centre for the Arts.

Parent tip: Families get the first Santa photo window (5 to 6:45 pm), so line up early, and dress for rain since the whole event is outdoors.

Holiday craft classes

Holiday Makers Series for Kids

Expand to see the parent tip

Delta’s annual Holiday Makers Series runs short holiday art classes at its arts centres, many of them built for kids: watercolour snowman cards for ages 5 to 7 and 8 to 14, polymer penguin snow globes for 6 to 9 year olds, and holiday card making for toddlers aged 2 to 4.

Older kids can try felt ornament embroidery, mini tree and wreath canvases or hand-painted tote bags, and each class sends them home with a finished gift.

Parent tip: Sessions are small and register by age, so book the exact class and centre you want early; Friday evening classes make a good after-school treat.

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.

Rally Takes the Train book cover: a watercolor corgi peeking from a red train

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.
