A decorating disaster will put you on a magical hunt for Santa's elves at one of Metro Vancouver's favourite holiday events this year.
Christmas Glow returns this November to dazzle guests with over a million twinkling lights across Langley Gardens.
Complete with nightly live performances, festive food trucks, and intricate, breathtaking seasonal displays, the event draws thousands of visitors annually.
This year, Glow is hosting an expansive outdoor walk-around light experience and promises "more lights than ever before." Guests will also have a chance to enjoy a magical train ride, pictures with Santa, meet and greets with the elves, a kid's play area, and free parking. There's a massive, toasty tent space for people to hang out in while they watch live performances, too.
For the past couple of years, the event was moved to a drive-through format to keep people safe during the pandemic.
In the past, some of the highlights were the glittering glacial foyer, where it’s always snowing, as well as the 100-foot animated light tunnel.
This year, the theme is “The Jolly Jumble!” where Santa’s glorious tree comes crashing down in a "decorating disaster." The elves scampered off to find the jolly man some new decorations and you can find them as you journey through a "sea of giant ornaments, magical trees and cascading lights."
What's in store for the little ones?
Children have plenty of reasons to get excited about the festive event this year.
