The Best Christmas Fun in the Inland Empire

The holidays are a magical time of year when kids and adults both get super excited as the magic of the Christmas Season brings so much joy. Outside the hustle and bustle of purchasing gifts is are all the fun things to do and see. You may think you have to travel far outside the Inland Empire for amazing fun sights and activities. Well we are here to show you that you don’t have to go very far at all to enjoy some of the coolest Christmas sights and events in Southern California.

Logan’s Candy – Ontario

Maybe one of the coolest things you can do this holiday season is to pop on over to Logan’s Candy in Ontario California and watch Candy Canes be made by hand right before your very eyes. Owner Jerry and his family put on a candy making demonstration nightly to crowds of people multiple times a day. What is even better than watching the Candy Canes being made is tasting a warm fresh Candy Cane!!!

Logan’s Candy is located at  125 W B St, Ontario, CA 91762 for information on when you can see a fresh Candy Cane Demonstration click here

Ontario Bakery – Ontario

One of the most fun and most beautiful things ever created during Christmas time are Gingerbread Houses but many people just can’t get the structure to work or simply just don’t want the hassle! You could go to the store and buy one of those kits and struggle at home or you can take all the hassle out of Gingerbread Houses and go to Ontario Bakery. Ontario Bakery offers multiple opportunities to decorate your own Gingerbread House. Ontario Bakery takes care of all the prep and has tons of candy and toys available to put on your house, then the staff offers you assistance in making your Gingerbread House everything you ever wanted.
