For Twinkling Light Displays

Union Station's Holiday Lighting Ceremony - Witness the magic and view the largest Christmas tree in Kansas City at Union Station.
Legendary Tree Lighting Ceremony - Eleven years in the running, Legends Outlets hosts a tree lighting ceremony, but is more known for having the region's largest displays of animated lights that are synchronized to music - for a musical light show that your family can enjoy after moving to Kansas City.
Santa Meet-and-Greets
The Ultimate Santa Adventure at Oak Park Mall - A Kansas City Christmas event truly like no other, the Ultimate Santa Adventure begins with your children being greeted by Santa's helpers, Shrek, and Donkey for a sleigh ride to the North Pole to visit Santa. If you are moving to Kansas City and are looking to cheer up your children, this is a sure fire way to make them forget about moving and into the Christmas spirit.
Whoville Holidays at the City Market - Every Saturday between Thanksgiving and Christmas you can expect to find your new neighbors and Kansas City movers with their children at the City Market to visit Cindy Lou Who in her Whoville home with the Grinch - perfect for your slightly older children who are no longer into sitting on Santa's lap.
Kansas City Christmas Festivals and Special Events
Crown Center Ice Terrace - Bringing your family to ice skate is a local tradition, so after moving to Kansas City, bring your family to Crown Center for a day full of skating and fun.
Christmas on the River - Christmas on the River is the perfect local Christmas festival for families who are looking to just have a nice time together. Typically starting around dinner time, your family can enjoy food vendors, family activities, Christmas music, Santa and Mrs. Claus, as well as fireworks over the river to cap off the night.
