Sofia's Tour of 130 Christmas Trees
2025-11-29 12:00 - 2025-12-06 15:00 | Christmas Tree Tour, 42 Comfort Close, Red Deer, Alberta, Canada
November 29th & 30th : 12 – 3 pm
December 6th : 12 – 3 pm
42 Comfort Close, Red Deer

Get ready to immerse yourself in the enchanting Christmas atmosphere at the Red Deer House of 100+ Trees! Vince and Tom warmly invite you to experience a festive spectacle featuring over 130 beautifully adorned Christmas trees. This annual tradition not only spreads joy and holiday cheer but also serves a noble cause – supporting the Central Alberta Humane Society.

Vince and Tom’s holiday extravaganza began as a heartfelt initiative to raise funds and awareness for the Humane Society. However, it took on a deeper meaning when they rescued Sofia, their beloved chihuahua, whose legacy has become the driving force behind the Christmas tree tour.

“Sofia’s 130 Christmas Tree Tour” was born in 2017 in memory of the couple’s cherished chihuahua, Sofia. Jackman, one of the organizers, shared the endearing memory of Sofia always finding solace under the twinkling Christmas trees, nestled on festive mats. Her spirit lives on through this magical event, inspiring a festive celebration of love, compassion, and community.

Every Christmas, the couple opens their home to the public, transforming it into a winter wonderland where each tree tells a unique story. The tour aims not only to create a magical holiday experience but also to draw attention to the importance of finding forever homes for furry friends around the world.

As we strive to make Christmas special for our local shelter in Central Alberta, your support becomes crucial. Fur babies everywhere dream of a forever home where they can be cherished and feel like part of a loving family. By participating in this heartwarming event, you contribute to creating a joyful holiday season for these deserving animals.

If you’re eager to join the festivities, simply send a message to vincetom@hotmail.com to give details on the date and time you wish to visit. Upon arrival, follow the holiday spirit to the side door on the garage, where the magic of the season awaits.

Come and be a part of “Sofia’s 130 Christmas Tree Tour” – an unforgettable celebration of love, joy, and the true spirit of giving.
