Founding Families
Be Part of the First Season of The Christmas Quest
Founding families are choosing to be part of the very beginning of The Christmas Quest. This experience includes privileges and recognition that extend beyond a single season.
Founding Family status is permanent and does not expire.
Families who join during the inaugural season will be acknowledged each year as part of the first chapter of The Christmas Quest.Founding access is limited to this initial offering and will not be available to future guests. Founders pricing reflects that distinction.
A Note From Abby
The idea for The Christmas Quest didn’t begin as a business plan — it began around my nieces and nephews.
Watching them move through the holiday season year after year, I became deeply aware of how quickly the magic passes. How fast wonder turns into routine. How rare it feels to slow down long enough to truly experience the season together. I wanted to create something that protected that sense of belief a little longer — something rooted in warmth, story, and genuine joy.
The Christmas Quest is my way of honoring that feeling. It is being built with intention, care, and heart — not to be the biggest holiday attraction, but to be a meaningful one. A place where children feel seen, families feel connected, and joy is felt in a quiet, lasting way.
This first season matters deeply to me. Not because it needs to be big — but because it needs to be done right. That is why we are opening The Christmas Quest with a small group of Founding Families and community supporters who believe in the heart behind the experience and want to help bring a new holiday tradition to life.
A New Holiday Tradition Begins This Season
The Christmas Quest is opening its inaugural season with a limited number of Founding Family reservations.
Founding Families are the families who step forward first — helping bring this experience to life while receiving priority access, preferred booking, and special recognition as part of the very first year.
It is an early reservation opportunity for families who value meaningful holiday traditions and want to be part of something from the beginning.
What Is The Christmas Quest?
The Christmas Quest is a guided, story-based holiday experience designed for families with young children — one that unfolds slowly, intentionally, and with heart.
Families begin their evening along the Path of Lights, an illuminated outdoor journey designed to feel magical from the very first step. As families walk the path together, children encounter interactive story moments woven into the environment — moments that invite curiosity, imagination, and belief.
The experience is immersive and participatory rather than passive. Children are encouraged to explore, listen, notice, and wonder as the story unfolds around them.
The journey culminates in a personal visit with Santa, thoughtfully paced to feel calm and unhurried, followed by a professionally captured holiday portrait. The goal is not simply a photo, but a memory — one that feels earned through the journey and meaningful long after the season ends.
Every element of The Christmas Quest is designed to feel intentional: from lighting and sound, to story pacing and space, to the way families move through the experience together.
What It Feels Like for Children
For children, The Christmas Quest feels like stepping inside a story.
It feels like anticipation building with each step along the Path of Lights. Like noticing small details meant just for them. Like being invited to listen, to look closer, and to believe — without being rushed along.
Rather than waiting in line, children move through a journey that acknowledges their imagination. They are not spectators; they are part of the story. By the time they meet Santa, the moment feels natural and earned — as though the path itself has led them there.
Extending the Magic Beyond the Visit
For many families, the magic of The Christmas Quest begins before the visit itself.
Throughout the year, all founding families children receive mailed communication from Santa — thoughtful notes and story-driven correspondence that help build anticipation, connection, and belief as the season approaches.
These moments are designed to feel personal and sincere, creating continuity between the story, the visit, and the memories families carry forward. The experience doesn’t begin at the door and end with a photograph — it lives on through small, meaningful touches that remind children that the magic they felt was real.
Why Founding Families Matter
This first season is intentionally limited.
Founding Family reservations allow The Christmas Quest to open fully built, fully staffed, and at the level of quality families expect from the very first year.
In return, Founding Families receive early access and special benefits not available during public booking.
