Crossroads Best Kept Christmas Secret Revealed

Right on the corner of Mallette and Blyth sits an acre and a half of land once considered just part of the countryside of Victoria.

Last year we got to sit down with Joy Pittman and her best friend Debbie Stephens who have spent the last fourteen years creating something truly unique for Victoria, by utilizing the acre and a half that Joy inherited from her father to create Victoria's Christmas Wonderland, undoubtedly, Victoria's best kept Christmas secret.

Christmas WONDERland in Victoria Continues to Grow Each Year

Joy and Debbie want to invite each of you to come out and enjoy the wonder that is truly a Christmas Wonderland. Or as Joy laughs, " It's also been called "Little Cuero."

When does Christmas Wonderland Open?

Open the first Friday evening after Thanksgiving, Christmas Wonderland lights up the Crossroads literally as an outdoor venue to explore with family and friends enjoying the thousands of lights and lighted Christmas displays that Joy and Debbie have spent weeks preparing beforehand.

They started off small, but over the years, after garage sales, hand-me-downs, donations, and Christmas discount shopping, the land Joy inherited has quietly and carefully been transformed into something truly magical for all of us!

"We do this because we love the spirit of Christmas" Joy offers. "It's like no other time of year," Joy and Debbie concur.

And Christmas Wonderland is like no other venue in Victoria during the holidays.

Debbie and Joy spend several weeks before Christmas outlining their plan for the season and work hours on end to ensure that the lights turn on Friday after Thanksgiving no matter what. They haven't let snow or flooding, or COVID stop them.

Families with children are especially welcome, they are just asked to keep their children supervised at all times.

Touring Christmas Wonderland is absolutely free but there is a donation box if you are inclined to give!

Joy and Debbie plan to build it bigger and better every year while they can.

"We're getting older," Debbie teases. "But this just makes us feel so good."

Tour Christmas Wonderland this year Crossroads, and together let's get the word out!
