COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Colorado Country Christmas Gift Show returns to the Colorado Springs Event Center Friday, Nov. 13 through Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026. Southern Colorado’s holiday shopping tradition brings together local and regional vendors, artisans and makers under one roof, giving shoppers the perfect place to check off their gift lists and get into the holiday spirit.
Shoppers will find one-of-a-kind gifts, holiday décor, apparel, toys and treats from local and regional vendors throughout the show floor, along with new products and exclusive show specials. In Artisan Alley, skilled artists, makers and craftspeople showcase unique, handcrafted gifts and custom-made pieces from local artisan designers, making it easy to find something special for everyone on the list.
Families can visit with a real-bearded Santa Claus in his authentic attire for holiday photos from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day of the show. Santa’s visits benefit the Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation, and guests can support the cause by bringing a toy donation or scanning a QR code onsite. Just steps away, the Pikes Peak ‘N’Gineers Model Railroad Club brings its beautiful and intricate Tiny Trains to the show, with trains that whistle through miniature villages to the delight of guests of all ages.
Young shoppers and future business owners alike will enjoy the Kids Markets, where young entrepreneurs from the Children’s Entrepreneur Network run their own booths on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Guests can also leave their mark at Get Creative, a community coloring wall featuring the Colorado Springs skyline.
Between shopping stops, guests can sip a holiday-inspired specialty cocktail at the Holly Jolly Cocktail Bar, provided by Peak Beverage and sponsored by Lifetime Home Remodeling, or grab a drink and recharge in the Shopper’s Lounge. Live holiday music fills the show floor throughout the weekend with performances from the Free Time Quartet, No Strings Attached Quartet and The Candelas Quartet.
Shoppers can also stretch their holiday budgets with Merry Money, sponsored by Pikes Peak Credit Union. Hourly drawings award $25 vouchers redeemable at vendor booths, with a daily grand prize of $100 in Merry Money. Special ticket days throughout the weekend include Senior Day on Friday, Girls Night Out on Saturday evening, and Hero Day and Friends and Family savings on Sunday.
