Bring A Donation For The Edmonton Food Bank 

There are donation boxes placed all around Candy Cane Lane where you can drop off your food bank donations. Not sure what to donate? Check out this list of suggestions.

You Might See Santa!

It’s true! Santa walks up and down Candy Cane Lane wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and for you to take your picture with! Make sure you’re following Candy Cane Lane Santa Claus on Facebook for updates.

Bring Some Cash For Treats

On the opening weekend, you can enjoy some delicious maple taffy from Canadian Maple Shack and best of all a portion of their proceeds will go towards the Edmonton Food Bank! Beaver Tails will also be there severing up some yummy treats. While there are some gas stations close by with ATM’s it’s best to bring cash just to be prepared!

Bring Your Letter To Santa 

I’ll be honest, I have not found any information about Canada Post boxes being located on Candy Cane Lane this year (but I’ll update that tonight after we visit). However, if you want to see for yourself make sure the letter to Santa has the following address.

Santa Claus
