This December, get ready to celebrate the holiday season with cheer, shopping, and family fun at Christmas on the Square, Cordell’s holiday event! Hosted by the Cordell Chamber of Commerce, this magical night will bring joy and laughter downtown on Thursday, December 5th, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the heart of Cordell.
Christmas on the Square offers the perfect opportunity for those looking to cross off their holiday shopping lists. Vendors along Market Street will transform downtown into a festive marketplace with unique gifts and local finds. Discover everything from cozy clothing and beautiful decor to one-of-a-kind jewelry and homemade baked treats—perfect for gifting (or keeping for yourself!).
Kids are also joining the holiday event with a special business fair in the Pocket Park, where young entrepreneurs can display and sell their creations. The Pocket Park will be brighter than ever with twinkling Christmas lights and decorations. And, of course, the season’s most beloved guest, Santa Claus, will make a special appearance, ready to hear holiday wishes and pose for photos! He will arrive at 5:30 and will personally light the official Christmas tree in the Pocket Park.
There will be an opportunity to settle into a horse-drawn carriage for a 15-minute ride around the beautifully decorated square. Tickets are $15 per person.
Bring your appetite and sweet tooth! Food trucks will be available with delicious options, and classic holiday treats like hot chocolate and s’mores will be available for purchase to keep everyone warm and cozy. Face painting will be available for kids of all ages for extra fun and enjoyment! Also, be sure to get in on the action with the cookie contest- bring your best cookies and recipe to Christmas on the Square, where judges will be ready to choose a winner for the most festive holiday cookie!
Adding to the fun, the Washita Theatre will show Moana 2, inviting families to wind down (or up) with this family-friendly, animated comedy film full of adventure after exploring the square. There will also be exciting gift drawings throughout the night, with winners announced live, so be sure to stay close—you must be present to win!
Christmas on the Square will surely be an evening filled with laughter, holiday spirit, and the joy of being together as a community. Grab your friends and family, bundle up, and join us for an unforgettable holiday celebration.
