Letter to Santa

Expand to see the parent tip

Aspen Grove sets out a special mailbox for Santa outside Timbuk Toys, and kids can drop in a letter whenever the family is at the shopping center. The center collects the letters and sends them on their way to the North Pole.

Letters are accepted from November 15 through December 24, 2026. Put the letter in an envelope with your child's name and full return mailing address. No stamp is needed and there is nothing to sign up for.

Parent tip: Check that the return address is complete before your child seals the envelope, since that is the one thing the center asks for. The mailbox is outdoors, so it is an easy two-minute stop on any errand rather than a trip of its own.

Holiday parade

Candlelight Walk

Expand to see the parent tip

Littleton opens its holiday season with an evening on Main Street built around a holiday parade, live music and festive performers. Families can see reindeer, take photos with Santa and warm up with hot cider and cocoa handed out at no charge, and a drone show closes the night. Main Street shops stay open late for anyone who wants to begin their gift shopping.

The walk is Friday, November 27, 2026, listed from 5:30 to 7:00 pm in Downtown Littleton. No tickets or sign-up are mentioned. Non-perishable food for Inter-Faith Community Services and toys for the Arapahoe Santa Claus Shop are collected during the evening.

Parent tip: This is about 90 minutes outdoors on a late November night, so dress children in layers and stay through the end if they want to see the drone show. Let kids pick out a canned good or a new toy to hand in at the donation points.

Holiday lights

Hudson Holidays

Expand to see the parent tip

Hudson Gardens turns its grounds into a walk-through light show with a lighted maze and oversized themed displays along a route of roughly 0.65 miles. Santa poses for free photos in the Pavilion through December 23, and families can roast s'mores at the courtyard firepits or stop for hot chocolate. Select nights add story times with holiday characters, bingo, movie trivia and a sensory friendly night on December 2.

The show runs on select nights from November 27, 2026 to January 3, 2027, from 5:00 to 9:00 pm, closing at 7:00 pm on December 24. Dated tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors 65 and over and $15 for ages 3 to 12, any-day tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for youth, and children 2 and under are free. Tickets are sold online and at the door, are not timed, and do not allow re-entry.

Parent tip: The organizer suggests 45 minutes to 2 hours for the loop, and since there is no re-entry, bring everything from the car on the first trip. If the Santa photo matters, go by December 23, because Mrs. Claus and an elf fill in on Christmas Eve.

Holiday crafts

Gingerbread House Building Contest

Expand to see the parent tip

Families and individuals get two hours at Bemis Public Library to build a gingerbread house for a public contest. The library supplies the base and basic materials, and builders may bring extras as long as every piece is edible. Finished houses stay on display through December 22 for a public vote, and the house with the most votes wins $25.

The build is Saturday, November 28, 2026, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm in the Large Meeting Room. You can sign up as a group or alone, and registration opens at 10:00 am on Saturday, November 14. The page does not list a fee.

Parent tip: Set a reminder for 10:00 am on November 14, when sign-up opens. Pack your own candy, cereal or pretzels for the details, since only the base and basics are provided and everything on the house has to be edible.

Holiday show

Littleton Ballet Academy Presents Scenes from The Nutcracker

Expand to see the parent tip

Young dancers from Littleton Youth Ballet and Littleton Ballet Academy perform selected scenes from The Nutcracker at Bemis Public Library. The cast is made up of local youth, and the library bills the hour as a family program open to every age.

The performance is Sunday, November 29, 2026, from 3:00 to 4:00 pm in the library's Conference Room and Large Meeting Room. No registration is needed, and the page does not list a fee.

Parent tip: At one hour of highlights danced by kids, this is a gentle first Nutcracker for preschoolers who could not sit through the full ballet. Nothing is reserved, so come a little before 3:00 pm to settle in.

Santa visit

Pet Night with Santa

Expand to see the parent tip

On Pet Nights, Santa's set in Center Court at Southwest Plaza is given over to family pets. The whole family can join the photo, with the pet as the center of attention.

Pet Night runs on Mondays and Tuesdays from November 30 through December 15, 2026, from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. The mall asks families to book their pet photo session online. The page does not list a price.

Parent tip: These sessions happen only on Monday and Tuesday evenings, six nights in all, so reserve a slot rather than turning up with your pet on a weekend. A 4:00 pm booking right after school keeps both kids and pets fresher than the last slot.

Story time with Santa

Booked for the Holidays: A Visit with Santa

Expand to see the parent tip

The Roxborough branch of Douglas County Libraries hosts a morning of holiday stories, activities and snacks with Santa as the guest. Each child gets some time with him in the branch's community meeting room.

It takes place Thursday, December 3, 2026, from 10:00 to 11:00 am. Every child attending must be registered individually, while adults do not need to register. Seats are limited, and the page does not list a fee.

Parent tip: Santa shows up right at 10:00 am, and the library asks families to arrive within the first 30 minutes to be sure of a visit, so do not treat this as a drop-in. Register siblings one by one, including little ones.

Holiday show

Littleton Symphony Orchestra Holiday Concert

Expand to see the parent tip

Assistant Conductor Héctor Jardón leads the Littleton Symphony Orchestra through a holiday program that kids will recognize in places, including music from How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Carol of the Bells and Leroy Anderson's Sleigh Ride. The evening also includes a Christmas sing-along for the audience.

The concert is Friday, December 4, 2026, at 7:30 pm at Littleton United Methodist Church, with doors at 7:00 pm and a listed end of 9:30 pm. Tickets are required, with reduced prices for students, seniors and SNAP recipients. The orchestra expects to sell out and advises buying early.

Parent tip: A 7:30 pm start that runs to about 9:30 suits school-age children better than toddlers. Buy student tickets ahead of time, since the orchestra expects a sellout.

Breakfast with Santa

Pancakes with Santa

Expand to see the parent tip

Breakfast at Hudson Gardens comes with pancakes, sausage, orange juice, coffee and a toppings bar. While they wait for Santa, kids color holiday pages and write a letter to send to the North Pole. Then each child gets a turn with both Santa and Mrs. Claus to share a wish list and take a photo.

There are two sessions on Saturday, December 5, 2026: 9:00 to 10:30 am and 11:00 am to 12:30 pm. Tickets are required and cost $20 for resident adults and $25 for non-residents, $15 or $20 for children 12 and under, and nothing for children 2 and under. Gluten-free options are not available.

Parent tip: Choose the 9:00 am session for early risers or the 11:00 am one if it has to fit around a nap, and book the same session for the whole party. Families avoiding gluten should eat beforehand, because the menu has no gluten-free option.

Holiday show

Voices West: Here Comes Santa Claus

Expand to see the parent tip

The Voices West chorus built this short concert for children, with a program of familiar holiday songs. It lasts about 40 minutes and ends with Santa Claus making an appearance. The listing calls it a holiday tradition for many families in the south metro area.

The concert is Saturday, December 12, 2026, at 1:00 pm at the Douglas H. Buck Community Recreation Center, listed from 1:00 to 2:00 pm. Tickets are sold through voiceswest.org, and the listing warns that they go quickly.

Parent tip: Forty minutes of music is about right for preschoolers, and the early afternoon start avoids a late night. Order tickets as soon as you know your plans, since the listing says they sell fast.

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.

The story of Christmas in Littleton

The switch Santa flips to light Littleton's community tree is the same one used at the first Candlelight Walk in 1983. That year he rode down Main Street in the back of a city pickup truck with a small crowd behind him. The walk now fills downtown with more than 12,000 people.

How Littleton celebrates

Littleton's season opens on the Friday after Thanksgiving with the Candlelight Walk on Main Street. City Lifestyle traces it to 1983, when Charlie Blosten, then the city's public works director, hung holiday lights downtown and Santa led a small crowd down the street. Today families gather near Bega Park with candles, follow Santa's float through downtown and watch him light the community tree at the west end of Main Street, with free hot cider, cocoa and strolling carolers along the way. In December the Littleton Museum and the Friends of the Littleton Library and Museum host Holiday's Evening, when costumed interpreters on the living history farms show how the winter holidays looked in 1800s Littleton.

Christmas last year in Littleton

The 2025 Candlelight Walk was held on Friday, November 28. City Lifestyle's preview listed more than 20 parade floats, the Gorilla Brass Band, Heritage High School's brass ensemble and Circus Foundry stilt walkers and jugglers, with a drone show following the tree lighting. Main Street was fully lit afterward, according to the Littleton Downtown Development Authority, whose Sparkle & Stroll shop-local campaign ran through New Year's with more than 75 businesses. Live potted evergreens lined Main Street from Bega Park to The Melting Pot for a second year, and Santa and The Original Dickens Carolers appeared downtown on weekends through December 21. The Littleton Museum's Holiday's Evening was listed for Sunday, December 14, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm.

Fun facts about Christmas in Littleton

The Candlelight Walk has paused only once, in 2020. In the 1990s Santa arrived by helicopter, an entrance sponsored by a local television station. The 2023 walk was billed as the 40th. Battery-powered candles and light-up toys sold at the event benefit Western Welcome Week, the community festival Littleton has held since 1929, and the potted evergreens that light Main Street are replanted around the city once the season ends.

Traditions today

  • Candlelight Walk: On the Friday after Thanksgiving, Santa leads a parade down Main Street while the crowd carries candles, a custom that gave the event its name.
  • Community tree lighting: Santa lights the community tree at the west end of Main Street with a switch that has been in use since the first walk.
  • Drone show: Recent Candlelight Walks have ended with a drone show above the west end of Main Street after the tree is lit.
  • Holiday Tree Program: Local businesses and residents sponsor live potted evergreens that are lit along Main Street and later replanted around the city.
  • Santa and the Dickens Carolers on Main Street: In 2025 Santa and The Original Dickens Carolers were downtown on December weekends, with Victorian carols from 11 am to 2 pm.
  • Holiday's Evening at the Littleton Museum: Costumed interpreters, a wagon ride, live music, stargazing, cornbread, cookies and hot cider bring an 1800s winter holiday to the museum's living history farms.

A fact for kids

The first time Santa came to the Candlelight Walk, he did not have a sleigh or a float. He rode down Main Street in the back of a city pickup truck, and in the 1990s he arrived in a helicopter.

Questions about Christmas in Littleton

When did the Littleton Candlelight Walk start?

City Lifestyle dates the first walk to 1983. Charlie Blosten, who was the city's public works director, hung holiday lights downtown that year, and Santa rode down Main Street in a city pickup with a small crowd following. The Littleton Downtown Development Authority billed the 2023 walk as the 40th.

When is the Candlelight Walk held each year?

It takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving and serves as Littleton's kickoff to the holiday season. The 2025 walk was on November 28, and the City of Littleton's events page lists the 2026 walk for November 27 on Main Street in Downtown Littleton.

Why is it called the Candlelight Walk?

The name comes from the candles people carry. According to City Lifestyle, the crowd gathers near Bega Park and lights candles as Santa's float travels down Main Street. Battery-powered candles are sold at the event, with proceeds going to Western Welcome Week.

Where is Littleton's Christmas tree lit?

The community tree stands at the west end of Main Street near The Melting Pot, in the spot the 2024 event listing calls Bowles Plaza. Santa lights it at the end of the parade by flipping a switch that City Lifestyle says has been used since the very first walk.

How big is the Candlelight Walk today?

City Lifestyle reports that more than 12,000 people now attend, compared with the small crowd that followed Santa in 1983. Its preview of the 2025 walk counted more than 20 parade floats, along with a brass band, a high school brass ensemble and circus performers on stilts.

Has the Candlelight Walk ever been cancelled?

Only once. City Lifestyle notes that the walk has run for more than four decades and paused in a single year, 2020, because of the pandemic. It returned afterward, and the Littleton Downtown Development Authority promoted the November 2023 walk as the event's 40th year.

How has Santa arrived at the Candlelight Walk over the years?

In the first year he sat in the back of a city pickup truck. During the 1990s a local television station sponsored a helicopter arrival, according to City Lifestyle. These days he rides a float down Main Street as the guest of honor in the parade.

What is Holiday's Evening at the Littleton Museum?

It is a December evening on the museum's living history farms, presented with the Friends of the Littleton Library and Museum. Costumed interpreters show how early Littleton marked the winter holidays in the 1800s, and visitors take a wagon ride, hear live music, stargaze and have cornbread, cookies and hot cider.

What are the evergreen trees along Main Street in December?

They belong to the Holiday Tree Program run by the Littleton Downtown Development Authority. Businesses and community members sponsor live potted evergreens, which were placed and lit from Bega Park to The Melting Pot in 2025, the program's second year. After the holidays the trees are replanted around the city.

Who puts on the Candlelight Walk?

The Littleton Downtown Development Authority's listing names the City of Littleton as organizer. Its 2023 announcement said plans were made with the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants, the Littleton Business Chamber and the development authority, and downtown shops and restaurants stay open late that night.

Where can families see Christmas lights in Littleton?

Main Street stays lit after the Candlelight Walk, and Hudson Gardens hosts Hudson Holidays, a walk-through light show along a route of about 0.65 miles. Hudson Gardens lists the 2026 season from November 27 to January 3, 2027, with show hours of 5:00 to 9:00 pm.
