A Celebration of Favorite Holiday Traditions, Music & Food
Like a holiday card come to life, each December Old Sturbridge Village transforms itself into a Magical candlelit 19th century village for its popular “Christmas by Candlelight” celebrations. As visitors stroll through the village, they can hear Victorian carolers, enjoy a horse-drawn sleigh ride, meet Father Christmas and Santa Claus and join in a Christmas carol sing-a-long. Historians will share the origins of favorite holiday traditions like roasted chestnuts, Christmas trees, Yule logs, gingerbread houses and sugar plums. You will escape from the frenzy of the modern Christmas season and have a chance to enjoy the old-fashioned spirit of the holidays and learn how today’s favorite traditions originated. .
