Cherry Creek North is truly making the holiday season magical with its 2024 Winter Wanderland! Here’s what visitors can look forward to:

There are no warning signs for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or sudden unexpected infant death (SUID). But research shows a relationship between these two conditions and safe sleep. In fact, in the 1990s, the U.S. saw the biggest drop in SIDS — over a 50% reduction — from its Back to Sleep campaign, proving the importance of creating a safe sleep environment for infants.

Elitch Gardens will transform into a winter wonderland when Colorado’s BIGGEST spectacular, Luminova Holidays, returns for the fourth consecutive season on November 29. Get ready to be dazzled by over 4 million twinkling lights, be thrilled by your favorite rides and attractions AND be together while meeting Santa Claus, strolling through candy cane tunnels and much more!

It’s the ultimate Christmas gift that keeps giving all year long.

The Cirque Dreams Holidaze is a show that will captivate audiences with a Broadway-style production infused with contemporary circus arts, featuring a world-renowned cast of performers, aerial circus acts, sleight-of-hand jugglers, acrobatics, and more. The show has an original music score with twists on seasonal favorites such as “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” and “Carol of the Bells.” Singers, dancers, penguins, toy soldiers, and reindeer invoke dreams behind a child’s eyes on the most magical of nights. Enhanced by new sets, scenery, and storylines, this production promises to ignite a sense of wonder and delight!

Children can embrace the holiday cheer with the Who-Ligan Brunch at Kachina. Available from November 30 until December 22 on weekends from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., this Whoville inspired breakfast features the Churro-Ho-Ho Waffles ($12) — two churro waffles served with bacon and eggs. Pair it with the Feel All Toasty Inside ($4), a creamy Mexican hot chocolate topped with festive green sprinkles.
