Ready to ‘Rock Around the Christmas Tree’

Henryetta is getting ready to sparkle once again as the 4th annual Henryetta Hallmark Christmas takes over Gazebo Park at 4th & Moore on Saturday, Dec. 6, from 4-9 p.m. The beloved holiday tradition promises an evening packed with festive fun, family activities and a cheerful small-town spirit that has made it one of Henryetta’s most anticipated winter events. — A Rockin’ Night of Holiday Fun

This year’s theme – “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” – invites everyone to step back in time for a night filled with retro holiday charm and community celebration. Visitors are encouraged to don their best vintage-inspired holiday attire and join the festivities as Henryetta officially rings in the Christmas season.

The evening will feature live music and a tree-lighting ceremony, complete with a special “Elvis surprise” that’s sure to get everyone dancing and singing along. As the tree glows against the winter sky, families can gather for a joyful countdown to the lighting, celebrating the spirit of togetherness that defines the season.

— Santa, Mrs. Claus & Holiday Magic Santa and Mrs. Claus will make a special appearance at the park, greeting families and spreading Christmas cheer. Visitors are welcome to take free photos with the jolly couple – a favorite part of the event each year.

Children will be thrilled with the free Christmas train rides, along with plenty of other kid-friendly activities throughout the evening.

— Food, Shopping & Community Spirit Dozens of food trucks and open-fire chuckwagon cooking will fill the park with mouthwatering aromas, while local vendors offer a variety of holiday shopping opportunities – from handmade gifts and crafts to sweet treats and festive décor.

A live Nativity scene will bring the Christmas story to life, while face painting stations, hourly giveaways and professional family photo areas provide something for everyone.

— Making Memories in Henryetta Organizers say this year’s Hallmark Christmas aims to be the biggest and most magical celebration yet. With sparkling lights, laughter and music filling the air, it’s a perfect opportunity for families and friends to slow down and enjoy the warmth of community during the holiday season.

So bundle up, bring your loved ones, and come make memories that will last a lifetime. The 4th Annual Henryetta Hallmark Christmas promises a night of laughter, joy and small-town holiday magic – right in the heart of Henryetta.

For more updates or to share your festive photos, follow event announcements and tag your pictures with #HenryettaHallmarkChristmas to spread the cheer.
