Christmas in Color adds Utah holiday stops for 2026

Christmas in Color is returning to South Jordan for a final season and back to American Fork for the 2026 holidays, giving Utah families two drive-through light show options along the Wasatch Front. The rollout includes new music, donated tickets and school fundraiser proceeds tied to each location.

Why it matters: - Christmas in Color is giving Utah families two holiday outing options in 2026, including a farewell season in South Jordan and a returning show in American Fork. - The season adds local ticketing, school fundraiser support and donated admissions for foster families and veterans.

What happened: - Christmas in Color announced it will return to Utah for the 2026 holiday season at the USU Bastian Agricultural Center in South Jordan and Art Dye Park in American Fork. - The South Jordan stop will be the final season at that location. - The American Fork show is coming back for another year. - Todd Glover, CEO of Wonder Entertainment / Christmas in Color, said South Jordan families are invited to celebrate one more season at the site, and American Fork guests can expect the show to return. - More information is available on the company's website.

The details: - The experience features millions of lights synchronized to music, animated Christmas displays and immersive light tunnels. - Guests stay in their vehicles for the drive-through route. - One admission ticket covers a vehicle. - An all-new 2026 playlist from Santa DJ will play at the show. - New Christmas elements will be added for returning visitors. - The two Utah locations give families separate holiday outing choices along the Wasatch Front. - Through Glow for Good, Christmas in Color provided 150 tickets for foster-family support in Utah. - Those foster-family tickets were split evenly between the South Jordan and American Fork locations. - Vet Tix received 200 tickets for South Jordan and 200 tickets for American Fork. - Participating school fundraisers receive $5 for each ticket purchased using a designated school code.

Between the lines: - The South Jordan farewell season turns the location into a limited-time sendoff, which can drive urgency for repeat visitors and first-timers. - The mix of local charity tickets and school fundraiser revenue suggests Christmas in Color is using the holiday event to deepen community ties, not just sell admissions. - The return to American Fork signals enough local demand to keep the event in Utah County for another season.

What's next: - Families can check schedules, ticket options and reservations for South Jordan and American Fork on the company's website. - Christmas in Color's 2026 locations also span Colorado and Idaho. - Media photos and videos are available through the shared drive linked in the release.
