Enchanted Festival, powered by ATCO Energy, returns to Spruce Meadows December 12–23, transforming the grounds into a glowing Christmas wonderland. As Calgary’s only indoor and outdoor Christmas light experience, Enchanted brings together millions of dazzling lights, illuminated indoor spaces and a full lineup of Christmas activities and entertainment for all ages.


Enchanted builds on Spruce Meadows’ nearly 30-year Christmas lights tradition, reimagined as a walk-through experience in 2025. This year, the Festival returns with even more to explore, from a new 75-foot illuminated light tunnel and dazzling light displays both indoors and outdoors to nightly reindeer, daily Santa visits and roller skating included with admission. Holiday shopping featuring 50 vendors, Christmas movies, roaming characters and family activities round out the festivities.



Longstanding Spruce Meadows partner, ATCO Energy joins Enchanted as presenting sponsor this year, helping power the Festival and adding new ways for guests to recharge throughout the evening. Inside the Equi-Plex, the ATCO Energy Re-Energize Zone will offer comfortable seating, device charging and a Christmas photo opportunity.


"Our partnership with Spruce Meadows is built on a shared commitment to creating meaningful experiences for the communities we serve. ATCO Energy is proud to power this heartwarming festival, bringing families together to celebrate the season, create lasting memories and enjoy the magic of the holidays,” said Lindsey Hagen, Senior Director, Marketing & Communications.
