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!!!

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!

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.
