A Merry Little Christmas….

November & December 2025 were full of festive fun! From community tree lightings and Meet & Greets with Santa, to a special guest visit at a local seniors’ home- there was no shortage of ‘Ho Ho Ho’ this year! Two highlights for our crew (and brand new events!) were Santa photos at Buttercup Celebration Hall and our own Christmas Mini Shoots.

SANTA COMES TO BUTTERCUP-On December 12th & 13th, we had our Santa, Mrs. Claus, and cheerful Elf at Buttercup Celebration Hall (just outside of Winkler) as the main holiday attractions. Families stopped by for photos, conversations with Santa, and plenty of festive smiles. The venue itself looked incredible—warm lights, cozy décor, and just the right touch of holiday magic. On top of our holiday crew, guests also enjoyed a charming vintage market throughout the weekend, full of antique gifts, seasonal finds, and creative home treasures. And of course, no holiday outing is complete without treats—luckily their cafe next door was serving up delicious goodies all weekend long. A special thank-you goes out to the entire team at Buttercup for inviting us to be part of the holidays with them and for creating such a magical space for the families to enjoy! We loved being part of such a special event and are already looking forward to doing it again in the future!

CHRISTMAS MINI SHOOTS -This was our first year providing outdoor Christmas Mini Shoots and it was a really special event. We hosted it on a farmyard just outside of Winkler, and people braved the cold both weekends to bundle up for their festive family photos. We had ACP’s own photographer Joe Michael take the pictures, and families enjoyed hot chocolate, conversations by the fire and time spent with the MINI HORSES! Hopefully next year we can run this again….but earlier in the year so we don’t have to freeze!
