A Holiday Wonderland Awaits

Explore a dazzling array of experiences as you stroll through a ½-mile, fully ADA- and stroller-accessible path. Along the way, music-orchestrated light shows, festive decorations, larger-than-life flower sculptures, and a towering 28-foot Christmas tree will enchant you.

You can also step inside the beautifully adorned McCormick House, a unique opportunity to explore this historically preserved home, blending history with holiday charm for a special addition to your visit.

Historic Splendor and a Hidden Bar

The beautifully renovated McCormick House is open again this season, with even more rooms adorned in festive splendor. As part of our French-themed year, be on the lookout for trees inspired by Joyeux Noël, adding a touch of French holiday charm throughout the house. Take in the display of hundreds of iconic Cantigny poinsettias and enjoy a moment together at the hidden bar, where you can sip hot cocoa or a festive cocktail.

Savor the moments

Cantigny’s holiday light show sets the stage for memorable experiences with loved ones. Stroll through the gardens as the lighting enhances traditional holiday decorations, creating moments of wonder for families and couples alike. This year, the light show expands into upper display gardens, offering new features that invite you to share and cherish the holiday spirit together.
