The Path to Christmas

Sunday, December 21, 2025

5 to 7 PM

In the midst of the holiday rush, take a moment to enjoy the Peaceful Path with your family. Stroll through the tranquil Florida forest on the path (with lots of photo opportunities), where you can enjoy carols and immerse yourself in experiences with the Holy Family. Santa will be on-site for a cookie and a warm cup of cider. The sanctuary will be prepared for you to express the full spectrum of holiday emotions, from profound joy to deep sorrow. Our space is thoughtfully prepared for you to celebrate the greatest gift of the season – the birth of Christ, which we celebrate on Christmas Day.

    Cookies and Santa

    As you walk the Path to Christmas, indulge in the simple pleasures of the season—savoring the sweet aroma of Christmas cookies, sipping on apple cider. Children can delight in crafting ornaments or writing letters to Santa, while adults find solace in the company of loved ones, sharing stories and laughter around the table.

Along your journey, you might meet carolers or a nativity character or two, each eager to share their tale. With every step, embrace the magic of the season, inviting you to pause and reflect on the true essence of Christmas.
