Christmas in Utah Valley feels like a season wrapped in lights, laughter and hometown magic. The mountains turn frosty, local markets come alive and families gather for traditions old and new. All across the valley, communities are hosting Christmas celebrations that make it easy to step into the season and soak up every moment. If you’re looking for festive places to wander, shop and make memories together, here are the Christmas events lighting up Utah Valley this week.
Living Bethlehem & Christmas Market- Dec 5th-13th
The beloved Living Bethlehem & Christmas Market returns for its third year, transforming the American Fork Amphitheater into a Bethlehem set and a charming Christmas village. Enjoy live performances, Santa and his sleigh, fire pits and handmade gifts from local artisans.
The theatrical Living Bethlehem experience is sold out, and we’ve received many questions about tickets. A standby line will be available each night, and when space allows, tickets can be purchased at the door for $5. Kids 3 and under are free.
Want to help spread the Christmas spirit? Volunteers and choir members receive 5 tickets to one of the sold out performances.
It’s a beautiful way to step into the season and experience the story together.
