Take a horse-drawn sleigh ride under 40,000 lights at this Alberta Snowman festival

Christmas has come and gone, but winter is far from over. Snow still covers the ground and the cold air still lingers, but it’s not all bad! In fact, there’s a very cool event you won’t want to miss that needs that snow to stick around. This month, celebrate the best of the regular chilly season at Heritage Ranch, where they’ll be hosting a magical festival of lights and snowmen!

From now until Sunday, January 31st, take a short road trip up to Red Deer for a cozy, romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride.

While on the trail, be dazzled by their incredible display of 40,000 sparkling lights and wave ‘hello, goodbye” to friendly-faced snowmen that have been placed throughout.

After the glide under the lights, enjoy a tasty “ranch approved” beef burger and hand-cut chips, ensuring that you definitely won’t have to drive home hungry.

It really is the perfect evening! Due to COVID, spots are limited this year, and you will have to book in advance but you do that in a snap at their official website here.

This festival is as wholesome, relaxing, and delicious as it gets, so don’t miss out! This weather won’t last forever!
