Children's Holiday Market Returns for its 4th Year in Carleton PlaceCarleton Place, ON – November 22, 2025 – The Children's Holiday Shop is back for its fourth exciting year at Zion Memorial United Church on November 22nd from 3 PM to 7 PM. This beloved community event invites children to bring their holiday shopping lists and get a helping hand from volunteer elves who will assist them in selecting, wrapping, and personalizing their gifts.
This year, we are thrilled to continue our tradition of supporting the Lanark County Food Bank. While there is no cost to participate, we encourage attendees to bring donations of goods or cash to support this vital local resource. Over the past three years, our young shoppers have made a remarkable impact, donating a total of 859 lbs of food and $1259. With your help, we aim to surpass those numbers in 2025, setting a goal of $500 and 500 lbs of food.
Parents are invited to relax in the “Parents Lounge,” where they can enjoy holiday refreshments, listen to music, and socialize while their children shop. It is the perfect way to make the most of the holiday season!
We are incredibly grateful to Zion-Memorial United Church for their ongoing support, and we can't wait to see the community come together once again.
In preparation for the Children's Holiday Shop, we will begin accepting donations of new or gently used items for the shop, as well as wrapping paper, tape, and craft supplies starting November 9th.
Please reach out via email ([email protected]) to arrange a pickup or drop off.
Join us for a festive day filled with holiday cheer and community spirit, and don’t forget to stay in town for Winterfest (4pm-8pm)!
Join us in spreading holiday joy while supporting our community!
