There is no doubt that the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is a magical place to be during the Christmas and New Year holidays, in no small part due to the wonderful events taking place at the hotel throughout the holiday period. The staff at JasperHotels.com have had a good look at the Festival of Christmas brochure put together by the Jasper Park Lodge, and we’d like to share of our favorite activities from Christmas Eve to Boxing Day.
Christmas Eve, December 24
To jump into the Christmas spirit straight after breakfast, we like the idea of Santa’s Stocking Workshop from 9.30-11am, which we are sure will be a hit with the kids. The Wagon Ride sounds like fun and is running at various times throughout the day, and needs to be booked ahead of time. We’d probably take the 2pm slot, so that we’re back in time for Skating with the Elves which runs from 3-5pm, on Lake Mildred. The Manager’s Yuletide Reception sounds festive and takes place from 4.30-6pm, leaving time for dinner before joining in with Caroling by the Fire from 8.30-9.30pm.
Christmas Day, December 25
After spending a relaxing Christmas morning opening gifts, we thought Christmas Cookie Baking would be a fun activity from 3-4.30pm, and Family Games Night from 5-9pm would be a chance for the kids to interact and swap stories about their favorite Christmas gifts, while the adults take a deserved break. Once again Caroling by the Fire from 7-8pm promises to be a festive round-off to a fun-filled Christmas Day.
Boxing Day, December 26
As soon as we saw Chocolate Tasting on the schedule, we started to lick our lips and we’re sure that will be a popular activity from 4-5pm. If you haven’t taken a Wagon Ride yet, then Boxing Day evening is as good a time as any, at either 7pm or 8pm. Who can say no to a sing-song? We certainly can’t which is why we like the idea of Family Karaoke from 8-11pm.
In addition to our picks above, there are many other special events taking place at the Jasper Park Lodge throughout the holiday period. For full details, visit the Jasper Park Lodge website and download the Festival of Christmas brochure.
