Canadale Nurseries in St. Thomas are kicking off their 16th annual Christmas Open Houses this weekend. The Open Houses will run for 4 weeks in a row beginning on November 9th and 10th and will serve as their start to the holiday season. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be at Canadale’s every weekend and will be available for photos until December 1st. Santa will even be bringing along some of his reindeer for select dates.
Other activities taking place throughout the Christmas Open Houses include face painting, cookie decorating, kids crafts, a hot chocolate bar, live entertainment and local guest vendors. Canadale’s has also transformed their greenhouses and giftroom into a Christmas wonderland filled with holiday gifts, décor, greens, Christmas plants & more. Proceeds from many of the events taking place including photos with Santa will be going to support the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital Auxiliary.
Many of the events taking place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. over the next 4 weekends require pre registration and a complete list of scheduled events can be found here.
