The heart of the holidays

Holiday Spectacular in review

The 2025 Holiday Spectacular: Home for the Holidays brought holiday cheer for all to hear. More than 350 Jasper residents enjoyed mingling, singing and festive delights.

Holiday tour highlights

Guests followed a special event map to visit six holiday host homes. Dickens Carolers performed at scheduled times at each stop, leading guests in classic favorites — from “Silent Night” to “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” Attendees of all ages joined in, impressed by the performers’ energy and talent.

Along with joyful tunes, hosts offered treats throughout the evening. Each home featured colorful décor, creating a unique holiday experience. Model homes on Davidson Court were also open, welcoming guests with seasonal offerings.

Festive Fashion Showdown

Festive attire stole the spotlight alongside twinkling lights and decorated trees. 19 participants signed up in advance for the Festive Fashion Showdown, committing to bring their holiday flair. From playful sweaters to Christmas light costumes, attendees delivered creative flair.

Treats and cheer at J Club

With Santa, elves and a gorgeous light display, J Club resembled the North Pole, minus the snow. A live cello performance filled the air with music, blending with laughter and chitchat.

Guests enjoyed tasty appetizers, and adults indulged in crafted cocktails inside Superb’s 21+ “winter wonderland” tent. Kids had a blast bouncing on a giant inflatable gingerbread house.
