Edaville’s Holiday Festival of Lights Returns as a Reimagined Celebration with Train Rides, Live Entertainment & Holiday Cheer
Carver, MA [Wednesday, November 12, 2025] – Train rides and holiday magic return to Edaville Entertainment Venue with the Holiday Festival of Lights, running Friday, Saturday and Sundays from November 28 through December 28, 2025.
This year, New England's Holiday tradition at Edaville has been re-imagined – introducing audiences old and new to a brand new experience designed to bring families and friends together during the holiday season. The venue has transformed to feature both the classic appeal of festive lights along with meaningful seasonal experiences crafted to create lasting memories.
The updated layout includes new gathering areas with comfortable spaces to relax, an expanded artisan marketplace, and on-theme experiences where children can explore and adults can unwind. Of course, seasonal food and beverage offerings will be abundant, making this long standing tradition both welcoming and renewed.
“We, here at Edaville Entertainment Venue, are thrilled to continue the tradition of joy and magic of the holidays with a reimagined Edaville Holiday Festival of Lights. From the historic train rides winding through 100,000 holiday lights to horse drawn carriage rides, ice skating under the starry sky, fabulous food and beverages, live entertainment and a visit to our new 21+ Jingle Bar, it will make you want to stay and enjoy all day or night” said Aimée Sedley,
Producer & General Manager at Edaville Entertainment Venue.
From the moment guests arrive, the glow of lights will be complemented by the warmth of live entertainment suitable for all ages: strolling holiday ensembles and carolers will bring cheer to the paths, interactive shows will invite kids, families, and friends alike to participate, and evening light shows set to seasonal music will provide a lively soundtrack to the festivities. Adults 21+ can enjoy seasonal libations in the must-see, lavishly decked out, Jingle Bar.
Additionally, themed weekends add to the excitement of the many things included in your ticket such as ice skating with free rentals, pictures with Santa, horse-drawn carriage rides, and live entertainment on 3 stages will make each visit feel special:
· Nov 28 - Nov 30 – Deck the Halls: On Friday, November 28, guests are invited to join us as we “Deck the Halls” – kick off the holiday season with the spirit of celebration and community. At 5:00 p.m., sign-ups open for our Tree Decorating Contest, where the first 50 participants will form teams, receive a decorating bin and a charity partner, and work against the clock to bring their tree to life. Guests will vote for the winning team. That same evening we’re offering a BOGO 2-for-1 general admission ticket deal (train ride not included) so guests can bring a friend or family member. On Saturday, November 29, it’s Carver Day: residents of Carver get free general admission at the gate (with valid ID showing Carver address; train ride not included). Then on Sunday, November 30, join us for the official Tree Lighting ceremony — as Santa, Mrs. Claus, the elves and special guests come together to officially illuminate the Holiday Village, including the chance for one lucky guest to light the Christmas star on Santa’s Big Stage by entering their name in “Frosty’s Hat Box” outside Candy Cane Station. To wrap up the weekend, enjoy “Slay All Day” with family-friendly Santa & Mrs. Claus brunch in the Holiday Tent and a 21+ Jingle Bar Drag Brunch featuring festive food, drinks, friends and fun. It’s the perfect way to begin your season of gatherings, traditions and memories.
· Dec 5 - Dec 7 – Winter Warm Up: From Friday, December 5 through Sunday, December 7, we’re turning up the warmth at our Holiday Festival of Lights with “Winter Warm Up,” a weekend full of lively, family-friendly and adult-focused events. On Friday the 5th, the first 50 guests to sign up will be invited to compete in our Ugly Sweater Contest — join Holly and Santa’s elves, grab your knit-gone-wild apparel and vie for the title of most outrageous sweater. On Saturday the 6th, it’s a full-day of cozy fun: families are invited to our Pajama Party where everyone can don their fuzzy best, take pictures with Santa, and enjoy holiday movies throughout the evening; and for adults 21+ we’ll host a separate Pajama Party in the Jingle Bar for a fun, relaxed glow-style gathering. Then on Sunday the 7th, slip into your slippers and join us for a family-friendly “Fuzzy Slippers Brunch” in the Holiday Tent, where you’ll share food and laughter with Santa and Mrs. Claus in a warm, festive setting. Winter might be cold outside — but we’re bringing the heat of holiday fun and togetherness.
· Dec 12 - Dec 14 – Holiday Artisan Marketplace: From Friday, December 12 through Sunday, December 14, dive into holiday shopping at our “Holiday Artisan Marketplace” during the Festival of Lights. On Friday, December 12, enjoy a BOGO 2-for-1 general admission ticket (train ride not included) and join a special themed evening: the “Nightmare Before Christmas” fandom trivia contest (first 50 people to sign up) where holiday shopping meets spirited competition. On Saturday, December 13, spend $500 or more while browsing the Merry Marketplace and receive a free gift: tickets to one of Edaville Entertainment Venue’s 2026 events. Later that day, join in the delight (and the mess!) of a Pie Eating Contest hosted by Santa’s elves — 50 participants, 3 contestants, 1 winner. Then on Sunday, December 14, we welcome all to our inclusive “Festivus for the Rest of Us” brunch in the Holiday Tent + a 21+ “Jingle Bar Festivus Flight” for adults, followed by a Menorah Lighting ceremony to honor the first day of Hanukkah and celebrate the season of light together. With artisan vendors, one-of-a-kind gifts, and festive experiences for every age, this weekend is the perfect stop for holiday shopping and celebration.
