Expand to see the parent tip
For its 6th year, the Downtown Huntsville BIA turns Main Street into a one-day holiday wonderland with more than 60 vendors, carolers and a live band, cozy fire pits for roasting marshmallows and downtown lit up as a winter wonderland.
The kid hooks are the old-fashioned games, holiday photo backdrops, outdoor Christmas movies and appearances from Santa and Mrs. Claus, and with the market running from 11 am to 8 pm you can come for lunch and stay until the lights glow after dark.
Parent tip: Come in the late afternoon so kids catch Santa and the games in daylight, then grab a spot by a fire pit once the outdoor movies start.

Expand to see the parent tip
The historic Portage Flyer locomotive and its open-air coaches are dressed in a thousand lights for one December evening at Muskoka Heritage Place, the Town of Huntsville’s heritage site.
While families wait to board there is free hot chocolate and cookies (while supplies last) and carol singing, then the train rolls alongside the Muskoka River to the Purser’s Cabin, where Santa is waiting for a holiday photo, and you can catch a later train back if you want to linger.
Parent tip: Tickets are cash-at-the-station only with no reservations, so arrive close to 5 pm, and dress kids in snow boots and a warm layer since the coaches are open to the air.

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.
