Holiday show

Suzy Bogguss: A Swingin' Little Christmas

Expand to see the parent tip

Country singer Suzy Bogguss leads an evening of Christmas standards with acoustic backing, moving from tender numbers such as I'll Be Home for Christmas to her own lively Two Step Round the Christmas Tree. Some of her hits and songs from her albums American Folk Songbook, Lucky and Aces Redux are mixed in between the carols. The arts center presents it as a show the whole family can enjoy.

The concert is on Sunday, November 29, 2026, at 7 p.m. at Lone Tree Arts Center. Tickets are sold through the arts center, and the event page does not list a price. A free 20-minute pre-show chat on the history and traditions of winter holidays starts at 6:15 p.m. in the Event Hall, with no reservation needed.

Parent tip: This is a sit-down evening concert that starts at 7 p.m. on a school night, so it fits older children who enjoy live music better than toddlers. Arriving by 6:15 p.m. gets you the free pre-show chat as a warm-up.

Holiday show

Kalani Peʻa's Hawaiian Christmas

Expand to see the parent tip

Hawaiian singer Kalani Peʻa performs a Christmas program that mixes traditional carols, Hawaiian songs and his own seasonal originals. Hula dancers Kumu Glenda Florez and Hālau Kalama, who are based in Aurora, join him on stage, and Keilana sings backup. His album Purple Hawaiian Christmas won the 2023 Na Hoku Award for Contemporary Album of the Year.

The show is on Wednesday, December 2, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. at Lone Tree Arts Center. Tickets are required and the page lists no price. A free pre-show chat about winter holiday traditions runs from 6:45 to 7:05 p.m. in the Event Hall, and no reservation is needed for it.

Parent tip: The hula dancing gives younger kids something to watch as well as hear, but a 7:30 p.m. start on a Wednesday makes for a late school night. Plan a quiet afternoon beforehand if you bring children.

Tree lighting

Merry Days Holiday Tree Lighting

Expand to see the parent tip

The City of Lone Tree lights its holiday tree during an evening gathering at the arts center. The city's page lists a hot cocoa and s'mores bar, holiday songs from The Denver Dolls, roaming holiday characters, a holiday market and Santa with his reindeer.

Merry Days is on Friday, December 4, 2026, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., with the tree lighting at 6:30 p.m. and remarks from the mayor. The page lists no admission price or ticket requirement. The city's calendar entry shows a 6 p.m. start, so check the page again closer to the date.

Parent tip: Plan to be in place before the 6:30 p.m. lighting, since that is the one fixed moment of the evening. Visit Santa and the cocoa bar on either side of it instead of during the countdown.

Holiday event

The North Pole Express: A Storybook Holiday

Expand to see the parent tip

Douglas County Libraries turns its Lone Tree branch into a celebration of the picture book The Polar Express. Families get live music and dance performances, crafts, cocoa gifts to make and take home, holiday photo spots and a visit with Santa. Each session comes with a menu of food, drinks and sweets, including a hot cocoa bar.

There are three sessions: a dinner edition on Saturday, December 5, 2026, from 5 to 8:30 p.m., and brunch (8 to 11 a.m.) and lunch (12 to 3 p.m.) editions on Sunday, December 6. Dinner tickets are $38 for ages 12 and up and $32 for ages 3 to 11, while brunch and lunch are $35 and $30. Children 2 and under are free, and tickets are sold in advance through the library's Storybook Holiday page.

Parent tip: The library's page showed the Saturday dinner as sold out, so look at the Sunday brunch or lunch sessions first. Each session is about three hours with a meal included, and the 8 a.m. brunch can suit early risers who fade by evening.

Holiday show

The Swingles: Together at Christmas

Expand to see the parent tip

The Swingles, a vocal group with six decades of music behind it, sing a winter program using nothing but their voices. The set crosses styles, with jazz-flavored originals, folk tunes and well-known carols in new arrangements. Their technique includes beatboxing and vocal imitations of string and horn sections.

The concert is on Thursday, December 10, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. at Lone Tree Arts Center. Tickets are required, the page lists no price, and it was showing limited availability.

Parent tip: An all-vocal concert is a good pick for a child who sings in a school choir or likes beatboxing. Seats were marked as limited, so book early instead of waiting for December.

Holiday show

Symphony of the Rockies Presents: Merry & Bright

Expand to see the parent tip

Symphony of the Rockies, the orchestra formerly called the Arapahoe Philharmonic, plays a holiday pops program of orchestral arrangements, carols and crowd favorites. The ensemble has been part of the Denver area arts scene for more than 70 years, and Devin Patrick Hughes has been its artistic director and conductor since 2013.

The concert is on Saturday, December 12, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. at Lone Tree Arts Center, where the orchestra appears as a rental client. Tickets are sold through the arts center and no price is shown on the event page.

Parent tip: A full orchestra playing carols your child already knows is an easy first symphony concert. It falls on a Saturday night, so a late bedtime is less of a problem than at the midweek shows.

Holiday show

Littleton Youth Ballet Presents The Nutcracker

Expand to see the parent tip

Littleton Youth Ballet and Littleton Ballet Academy stage the full Nutcracker with a cast of more than 160 children, pre-professional dancers and guest artists. The production uses full backdrops, a Christmas tree that grows on stage, professionally built sets and props and handmade costumes. Littleton Youth Ballet is a nonprofit company whose dancers are ages 8 to 18.

The performance listed is on Sunday, December 13, 2026, at 5 p.m. at Lone Tree Arts Center, and it lasts two hours including the intermission. Under the venue's fire code policy everyone needs a ticket, including infants and children sitting on laps. No price is listed on the page, and availability was marked as limited.

Parent tip: Count every child when you book, because babies and lap-sitters need their own tickets here. The 5 p.m. start means the ballet is over by about 7 p.m., which works for most early elementary bedtimes.

Holiday show

Holiday Family Movie: A Muppet Christmas Carol

Expand to see the parent tip

The arts center screens A Muppet Christmas Carol in its Main Stage Theater, with an hour of games, activities and light bites beforehand. Snacks and nonalcoholic drinks are free for everyone at the pre-movie party, and adult-priced tickets include one complimentary cocktail.

It is on Wednesday, December 23, 2026. Activities begin at 3 p.m. and the film starts at 4 p.m. Tickets are required, and a movie-only ticket is offered for the first time this year for families who want to skip the activities and snacks. The page lists no prices, says subscriber discounts do not apply, and was showing limited availability.

Parent tip: Decide before you buy whether your kids want the 3 p.m. games and snacks, since the movie-only ticket does not include them. With the screening two days before Christmas and seats already marked as limited, do not leave booking to the last week.

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 Lone Tree

At one Lone Tree tree lighting, horses from the Lone Tree and Parker police mounted patrols stood alongside Santa. The city calls its celebration Merry Days and holds it at the Lone Tree Arts Center, a building that dates to 2011.

How Lone Tree celebrates

The City of Lone Tree's main Christmas gathering is Merry Days, an evening tree lighting at the Lone Tree Arts Center with a hot cocoa and s'mores bar, live holiday music, roaming characters and visits with Santa. In a city news story about a Merry Days held on a December 3, Mayor Jackie Millet described it as a relatively new tradition that was growing in popularity. City listings pair the tree lighting with two neighbors: Schweiger Ranch's Austrian Christmas and Christkindl Markt, held on land that three Austrian brothers homesteaded in 1874, and A Storybook Holiday at the Douglas County Libraries branch across the street from the arts center.

Christmas last year in Lone Tree

For the 2025 season the city listed Merry Days on Friday, December 5, at the Lone Tree Arts Center, starting at 6 p.m. with the tree lighting at 6:30 p.m. and remarks from Mayor Harmon. The program included holiday music from The Denver Dolls, Santa and his reindeer, a holiday market and a cocoa and s'mores bar. The Lone Tree Library scheduled story times at 7:00, 7:15 and 7:30 p.m., and MorningStar Senior Living hosted a Gingerbread Village with letters to Santa, cookie decorating and a photo booth. Schweiger Ranch's Austrian Christmas was listed for Saturday, December 6, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the library's Storybook Holiday, themed Guess Who?, for December 6 and 7.

Fun facts about Christmas in Lone Tree

Schweiger Ranch was homesteaded in 1874 by three brothers from Austria, and the family grew the original 38 acres to nearly 4,000. The ranch's Austrian Christmas closes with its own annual tree lighting and features Santa with real reindeer and horse-drawn carriage rides. The Lone Tree Arts Center, where the city tree is lit, was built in 2011.

Traditions today

  • Merry Days tree lighting: The city lights its holiday tree at the Lone Tree Arts Center during an evening of cocoa, s'mores, live music and Santa visits.
  • Schweiger Ranch Austrian Christmas: The historic ranch hosts Austrian food and music, a Christkindl Markt of handcrafted gifts, carriage rides and a closing tree lighting.
  • A Storybook Holiday: Douglas County Libraries builds a ticketed family party around a story theme at its Lone Tree branch, with Reindeer Games, Guess Who? and The North Pole Express among the themes used.
  • Library story times on tree lighting night: The Lone Tree Library, across the street from the arts center, has offered short holiday story times, crafts and treats during Merry Days.
  • Gingerbread Village: MorningStar Senior Living has joined Merry Days with a Gingerbread Village where children write letters to Santa and decorate cookies.
  • Holiday season at the arts center: Lone Tree Arts Center fills late November and December with holiday concerts, a Nutcracker and a family movie afternoon.

A fact for kids

At one Merry Days tree lighting, Santa was joined by police horses from Lone Tree and Parker. At Schweiger Ranch's Austrian Christmas, the listings say he brings real reindeer.
