Thanksgiving Point will introduce five new holiday experiences at Luminaria 2026 starting November 12, 2026, according to a November 3 statement. The event will transform the Ashton Gardens in Lehi into a holiday wonderland featuring 10 million Christmas lights across 50 acres.
The new attractions for the 2026 season include Christmas on the Lake, which features illuminated trees reflecting over the water. Another new addition is the Ignite the Night show, a seven-minute immersive production staged at the Waterfall Amphitheatre on a 120-foot digital stage. This show will depict a battle between Frost and Fire through animation and special effects.
Interactive experiences are also being added, including the Snow Glow Dance Party located in the Greenhouse and a singing experience called Carol-oke. Additionally, a new Gingerbread Lane will be available for visitors to explore throughout the gardens.
Returning traditions will remain part of the Luminaria experience, including the Merry Mosaic, which consists of 6,500 illuminated luminaries and a 120-foot Christmas tree. Visitors can also see the Tree of Life sculpture garden and explore 50 acres of glowing pathways.
New food options will be available alongside existing favorites like hot chocolate, churro bites, and mini donuts. New menu items include Liège waffles at Club Cocoa and chicken and waffle sandwiches at Clucky’s in Luminaria Village. Guests also have the option to reserve a private igloo or a firepit for their visit.
Luminaria is described as a holiday tradition in Utah that combines Christmas lights, entertainment, and festive food in one destination.
