A Foothills Holiday Tradition

Now celebrating its 9th Annual Christmas Market, The Saskatoon Farm continues to bring families and friends together for one of the most anticipated holiday events in Southern Alberta. Visitors often say it feels just like stepping into a Hallmark Christmas movie — with rustic charm, glowing lights, and a warm, welcoming spirit.

A Celebration of Local Spirit

Family owned and operated for nearly 40 years, The Farm proudly showcases the dedication of its staff, vendors, friends, and family who come together each year to celebrate Christmas. Discover over 200 local vendors offering handmade gifts, seasonal décor, and festive treats — the perfect way to support local businesses and find something unique for everyone on your list.

Santa’s Workshop & Holiday Delights

Step into Santa’s Workshop, where you’ll find a dazzling array of fresh greenery, wreaths, gnomes, Christmas décor, and gifts. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be spreading cheer throughout the market — handing out candies, posing for photos, and greeting visitors of all ages with warm smiles.

And keep your eyes peeled — a mischievous green guest might make an appearance or two, adding a touch of playful fun to the festivities!

Fresh Cut Trees & Winter Greenery

Nothing captures the spirit of the season quite like the scent of a fresh-cut Christmas tree. Choose your perfect one right here at the Farm and bring home a piece of the magic. You’ll also find beautiful fresh greenery and handcrafted arrangements to add a natural festive touch to your home.

Sweet Treats, Savoury Bites & Cozy Drinks

Follow the delicious aroma to the on-site bakery, where you’ll find Saskatoon pies, tarts, scones, and other homemade pastries. Pick up a jar of their signature Saskatoon jam or syrup — a perfect local gift.

Warm up with a cup of hot chocolate, spiced apple cider, chai latte, or mulled wine as you stroll the market. For something heartier, stop by the restaurant or one of the food stations serving homemade perogies, soups, and other comforting delights.

Magical Winter Fun for Everyone

Gather by the fire pits for complimentary marshmallow roasting, enjoy horse-drawn sleigh rides, and watch as talented artists bring ice to life during live carving demonstrations. Everywhere you turn, the Farm glows with the warmth and joy of the season.
