    If you're enchanted by the cozy charm of Hallmark movies, then you won't want to miss Christmas in Colo! Taking place on the 2nd Sunday in December, this magical event kicks off around 4-4:30pm and lasts until 7-7:30pm. There's something for everyone in the family to enjoy from horse-drawn carriage rides courtesy of Plume Hill Carriage to the enchanting lighting of the Main Street Christmas tree.

    At St. Mary's, warm up with a hearty soup supper, while the 'After Prom' Bake Sale at the Fire Station tempts with delicious homemade treats. Of course, Santa himself will be there, ready to listen to holiday wishes and pose for photos. Local businesses join in the festivities, offering activities, warm beverages like hot chocolate and apple cider, and even opportunities to browse through their shops for unique gifts. At the community center, explore the vendors, marvel at the Festival of Trees, and maybe even take part in a gingerbread contest. Throughout the evening, Christmas characters roam the streets, adding to the festive atmosphere. And for those looking to capture the memories, Kassie Robinson Photography offers family photos at the Colo Public Library. While vendors and activities may vary each year, the spirit of Christmas in Colo remains constant – warm, inviting, and filled with joy. It's the perfect occasion to slow down and savor the magic of the holiday season.
