A Christmas to Remember

The Lights of Christmas event is almost here! This year, we are so excited to be celebrating 25 years of Christmas magic! With over a million lights hung throughout the route, this drive-thru experience is one you don’t want to miss. As we look forward to this year, we are reminded of all the festivities that come with the event. Thousands of families come to enjoy fresh donuts and warm hot chocolate as they drive through the many breathtaking displays, listening to festive music, and silly jokes from Bruce the Spruce. Ed McDowell, CEO of Warm Beach Camp Ministries, shares that he looks forward to, “kids of all ages with their heads popped up out of sunroofs taking in the drive-thru with delight and awe!”

The volunteers who come night after night with warm smiles and high spirits make The Lights of Christmas possible. Kurt von Pessler serves every year during The Lights of Christmas. He has worked throughout the entire event and shared that, “some of the special memories of The Lights of Christmas event is the number of people, especially kids, that are dressed up in Christmas outfits of all kinds. Many families are in pajamas and some even bring their pets, so many in fact that we gave away dog biscuits at the donut line!”

We are so overjoyed to have the opportunity to share in the joy of the holidays as we lavishly celebrate Christmas. Join us this season select days November through December in Stanwood, Washington.
