Many parents grew up watching the original Charlie Brown Christmas movie with their parents and they have shared it with their children, too. It's a Christmas tradition for many families.

Children get to enjoy watching their favorite characters, played by local children, dance and sing on the stage in a re-enactment of a classic Christmas show.

Hosted by the Georgia State Railroad Museum and the Savannah Children's Museum, the Santa Train is an event the people look forward to each year. There is always something exciting for everyone. Caroling and building a holiday wonderland are fun for everyone. There are also crafts to purchase, a station to make cards for hospital patients, and even the chance to learn about local cultural celebrations. Children can learn from STEM activities and go for a holiday-themed ride on a diesel locomotive. Of course, Santa is also available for a visit.

 

Everyone enjoys the lights of the holiday season and the parade and lights on the river are a great way to do this. Adults and children will be in awe of the spectacular light show of the parade. The Savannah Waterfront Association gets into the Christmas spirit for a full weekend with displays, entertainment and music, food booths, and more.

 

It's the most wonderful time of the year when The Historic Savannah Theatre puts on its production of A Christmas Tradition. The 2-hour performance takes place in a theater that is transformed into a holiday wonder. Standard songs that are a part of every Christmas are enjoyed by all. Comedy skits will make you laugh. Audience participation is even encouraged in some segments of the show. It's the kind of evening that will make everyone talk long after it is over.

 

For many kids, getting to do hands-on activities is important and The City Market Christmas For Kids Celebration allows them to do just that. They can choose from activities like making Christmas ornaments or decorating cookies, getting their face painted, or jumping in the moon bounce. There is a petting zoo where children can get up close and personal with the animals. They can also do quieter activities like listening to a storyteller or getting their photo taken with Father Christmas.

 

Our community is beautiful at any time of the year; however, at Christmas, it comes alive with the excitement of the season. Families with children of all ages will enjoy all of these activities and more.
