About Holly Jolly
Bring the kids to take pictures with Santa while you listen to your favorite holiday hits on the Plaza. Take a Horse-drawn Carriage Ride around downtown and then stop at the library to write your letter to Santa! Many of the activities are FREE, while others are fundraisers for various local non-profit organizations, so bring some CASH to enjoy supporting the many great causes. The evening is also a great opportunity to get some Holiday Shopping in as Vendors will be set up around the Plaza and Downtown Retailers will be open.

The Chamber is excited to partner with the City of Stephenville to organize a family-fun community event that celebrates Christmas, showcases talented local youth singers and dancers, provides fundraising opportunities for area non-profit organizations, and allows local businesses to promote their products to holiday shoppers. The best part of the entire evening is getting to celebrate this joyous time of year with family and friends in this community we all love! You will definitely leave with that child-like feeling of Christmas still resonating in your soul! 

SHS ‘In The Mix’ Choir will sing carols in the beautiful acoustics of the courthouse at 6:45 PM & 7:15 PM.
