Local groups and businesses each decorate a Christmas tree that says something about who they are, and the city spreads the finished trees across four public buildings for the whole holiday season.
It turns ordinary errands into a little tree hunt: kids can pick a favourite at the library, then compare it with the ones at City Hall, the Dow Centennial Centre and the Shell Theatre lobby.
Parent tip: Pair a library visit with a walk past the City Hall trees, then catch the rest on your next swim or skate at the Dow Centennial Centre. The participant list goes up closer to the start date.

Festive floats from local businesses and community groups roll through downtown Fort Saskatchewan at dusk, with Santa Claus riding at the end of the line.
Santa’s elves walk the route collecting letters, so kids who bring a written wish list can hand it over right from the curb.
Parent tip: Have the kids write their letters to Santa before you leave home and keep them in a pocket so they are ready when the elves pass. The chamber posts a route map on its parade page.

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.
