Rally the corgi has sniffed out the Christmas events for kids in Lexington for 2026, and both land on Saturday, December 5. Young artists sell their own work at the Munroe Center’s Youth Holiday Market in the afternoon, then Lexington Symphony’s Kids Pops fills Cary Hall at 4 pm with holiday music and a visit from Santa. We check every date on the host’s own website or the official Visit Lexington guide and link straight there. For the rest of the state, see our Massachusetts Christmas events for kids guide.

The Munroe Center for the Arts turns its building into a holiday market where every seller is a young artist, from little kids up through high school seniors.
Shoppers find original paintings, crafts and handmade gifts, and the young vendors get a real taste of running their own table, which the center calls artrepreneurship in action.
Parent tip: Bring small bills so kids can shop from other kids, then walk a few minutes down Mass Ave to Cary Hall for the 4 pm Kids Pops show.

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.
