Decorating the house, listening to Christmas music, watching festive movies, driving around looking at Christmas lights. It&#8217;s just such a joyful month with so much to do. Last year, I was on my way to a restaurant in Cape Coral when I drove my Cape Christian and saw the Christmas Village. I immediately had to look it up because it looks so awesome and realized it&#8217;s been a staple when it comes to holiday family-fun in Cape Coral. And it opens this weekend. <\/p>\n<p>A Christmas Season Staple Opens In Cape Coral This Weekend<\/p>\n<p>This Saturday, December 5, Christmas Village at Cape Christian officially opens for the season. It runs every night through December 23 from 6-9pm on Chiquita Blvd. <\/p>\n<p>What you&#8217;ll find is a true winter wonderland right here in Southwest Florida. Pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus&#8217;s Gingerbread House where you can do crafts, cookie decorating and write letters to the North Pole. Plus a skate rink, movies in the park, Christmas inflatables and train rides through a light tunnel. Plenty of photo ops and you may even seen flurries in the air. There are also festive treats for sale inside Parkside Cafe like chimneys, Santa&#8217;s sundae, Christmas cobbler, Prancer&#8217;s pretzel. And cozy drinks from hot cocoa, peppermint mocha lattes, gingerbread chai and more. Plus s&#8217;mores kits to enjoy while sitting around the fire. <\/p>\n<p>The event is free, but there are some pay-for activities like the hayride, Christmas train and ice skating. <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to make memories as a family this holiday season, this is definitely a fun event you won&#8217;t want to miss.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRnyoC4CmDy\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRnyoC4CmDy\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRnyoC4CmDy\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Find more info on Christmas Village, plus upcoming holiday services <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capechristmas.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you&#8217;re looking for something fun to do with the whole family, a Christmas season staple opens in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":71243,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[209,211,210,1191,12706],"class_list":["post-71242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cape-coral","tag-cape-coral","tag-cape-coral-headlines","tag-cape-coral-news","tag-christmas","tag-santa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71242\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
