Christmas by Candlelight is an evening of traditions, memories, and holiday cheer. Experience the magic of a candlelit New England township, decorated inside and out, while learning the history of Christmas celebrations of the mid-1800s.
Talk with authentically costumed historians about Christmas traditions of the past. Watch demonstrations of classic Christmas projects of the 1800s including Christmas baking, mulled cider, making ornaments and Christmas stockings, punching tin lanterns, making pottery, and more!
Enjoy a horse-drawn carryall ride while singing Christmas carols. Stroll around the pond and wander down the peaceful Christmas Tree Trail with dozens of sparkling lit trees. Head over the covered Christmas Wish Bridge and leave your Christmas wish. Enjoy live music, readings of classic stories such as The Night Before Christmas and A Visit from Saint Nicholas, sing-a-longs, learn a holiday dance and warm up by the bonfire on the green. There’s Christmas magic at every corner!
Please be aware that Christmas by Candlelight is held mainly outdoors with visits inside historic building and houses. Please dress accordingly. You will be walking on some uneven sidewalks and dirt roadways to walk around the village. You are on-your-own to explore and at your own pace.

Start with a delicious, all you can eat, buffet lunch featuring a large selection with all foods prepared onsite. After lunch, enjoy the hilarious performance of A Christmas For Carol. Following the show, return to your seat in the dining room for dessert, drinks and a fun-filled Holiday Cabaret Show!
During the holiday season, Carol tends to take Christmas way too far at work with decorations, presents, and overbearing traditions that not everyone appreciates in the office. Her co-workers love Carol, but this time of year she gets on everyone’s last nerve, so they formulate a plan for the company party that night! With wacky office hijinks, pranks, and even an office romance, will her co-workers be able to help Carol remember the true meaning of Christmas?
COST: $92 per person includes charter bus transportation, fabulous buffet lunch, matinee performance of “A Christmas For Carol”, and Holiday Cabaret Show. Driver tip is not included.
