Edmonton’s favourite holiday drive-thru tradition is returning for another season of unforgettable holiday magic. Canadian Tire Magic of Lights 2026 transforms RAD Torque Raceway into a dazzling 2.7-kilometre route featuring more than 2 million sparkling LED lights and animated displays. You can experience colourful holiday scenes including Twas The Night Before Christmas, Santa’s Mountain, Winter Wonderland, 12 Days of Christmas, Toyland, Festive Elves, and Reindeer Road, along with Alberta’s longest light tunnel: an incredible 425 feet of illuminated holiday vibrance. Fan-favourite displays return alongside larger-than-life attractions including Mattel’s iconic animated Waving Christmas Barbie®, Prehistoric Christmas featuring life-sized dinosaurs, the towering BIGFOOT® Monster Truck, a back-flipping Santa, and 4 additional 200-foot light tunnels designed to impress guests of every age.
New this year, guests can feel the magic all season long with the introduction of a Canadian Tire Magic of Lights Season Pass, giving families unlimited opportunities to experience the display throughout the holiday season.
Enjoy this family-friendly drive-through experience from the comfort of your own vehicle, with something magical around every turn.
