Our final issue of 2025 is out now, and we thought it would be a good idea to give you a sampling of Christmas activities you can take part in before Santa lands on your roof.

Along with light displays like the Holiday Lights walk-thru at Parkview Field and Blue Jacket's Fantasy of Lights at Franke Park, there's also the Festival of Gingerbread at The History Center, musical and theatrical performances, meals with Santa, and much more.
