This is going to be such a special show…  On a cold, starry Christmas Eve, eight friends eagerly await a visit from Santa. Unable to sleep, we find the girls filled with expectation and hope. Much to their delight Santa arrives, with his adorable reindeer and elves, to deliver gifts to each of the girls. Despite being told to wait until morning to open them, the children unwrap their presents one by one throughout the night, revealing all that Christmas is meant to be: a time of joy, hope, peace and winter magic.

With only two presents remaining unwrapped, Finley swiftly opens hers to find a Nutcracker doll. Realizing that her friend Eden had wished for this gift more than Finley, she graciously gives it to Eden. A magical scene unfolds. As the snow settles, the children wait, filled with anticipation to see what is in the last unopened gift… it is empty… Or is it? What seems to be empty is, in fact, the unseen gift of giving.

Through their Christmas Eve journey, the children learn that it is not in receiving, but in giving and sharing that the true magic and joy of Christmas is realized. Best of all – they understand there is no greater gift than love. Children 12 & Under and Seniors 65 & older – $19.50 / Adults – $22.50
(*prices include theatre surcharges.)

In the spirit of giving, Triple Heat Parent Advisory Society will be holding a Blind/Peek a Boo raffle at the show with 100% of the proceeds going to YANA!  What’s a Peek a Boo raffle?  It will be elaborately wrapped boxes with hints of what is inside the box with a Peek a Boo window!  We are so grateful to the many companies who have donated raffle items for this!  Up to $2000 in prizes to be won. Draws will be after show Nov 30 & Dec 1.

On Saturday, December 1st, the Christmas Truck Parade will travel from Village Park along Dunsmuir to First Street and will be closely followed by the arrival of Santa at Village Square. The Trucks will then return and park for display (and judging) along Dunsmuir Avenue.

Upon his arrival, Santa will be located at Village Square and will be available to receive Christmas wishes. Local crafts, warm drinks and snacks will also be available for purchase.

Spectators are encouraged to vote for their favourite truck. Ballots will be available for the public by donation and can be picked up at the white information tents, located along Dunsmuir Avenue. Submitting a ballot also provides voters an opportunity to win one of many great raffle prizes.

All proceeds from the ballots and raffle will go to You Are Not Alone (YANA). The Village of Cumberland and Organizing Committee are proud to support YANA in offering support and help to Comox Valley families who need to travel for medical services for their children.

For the safety of all participants, it is requested that attendees remain on the sidewalks, and keep streets clear until otherwise directed by traffic control.
