Christmas in the Park - Yukon, Oklahoma

Yukon's Christmas in the Park offers a beautiful lighted drive through three interconnecting parks. Yukon's Chisholm Trail, Freedom Trail and city parks make up over 100 acres of Christmas cheer that include over 500 displays and five million lights. Highlights of this beloved holiday event include the 50-ft, multi-colored, lighted Christmas tree, the Santa Express Train ride and an ice skating rink.

Start your journey through a magnificent arch that reads “Christmas in the Park” and follow the winding path through three interconnected parks transformed into a winter wonderland. There are three ways to enjoy Christmas in the Park. Motorists from the contiguous 48 states have driven through this wonderland. Twinkling animated displays amuse as you leisurely make your way through, while LED displays synchronized with music wow young and old alike.

Guest can get up-close and personal to the lights with a walking tour. The romantic pond area in Chisholm Trail Park is ideal for a winter date. There is even a “Will You Marry Me?” sign for guests who are ready to pop the question.

The Christmas in the Park Train Station is the junction of tasty treats, selfie spots and an ice skating rink. For a small fee, the Santa Express takes guests on a tour of the lights that adorn Chisholm Trail Park. Seeing the magnificence of millions of lights over three inter-connected parks, no one would guess that it started out as a handful of displays around the Yukon Community Center.

One of the reasons that Christmas in the Park is so special is that every large sponsored display is specifically designed by the sponsor. So, you won’t be able to find it anywhere else. If you look closely, each display tells a Christmas-themed story about the person, business or organization that designed it.

Christmas in the Park is one of the oldest and most popular traditions in Yukon. Yukon's three lighted parks are great for tour buses or anyone searching for the ultimate holiday experience. Admission to Christmas in the Park is free; however, donations are merrily accepted.
