Rondele Ranch’s Christmas Wonderland Returns
Get ready for one of northern Wisconsin’s best holiday light displays: Rondele Ranch’s “A Christmas Wonderland” returns November 28-December 30, 2025.
Visitors will marvel at more than 1 million lights illuminated in seasonal displays across the property near Harshaw in Oneida County. The displays are all designed and custom built by the team at MetalCraft, the fabrication shop located at Rondele Ranch.
“A Christmas Wonderland” is open for walking tours from 5 to 9 pm on Fridays and Saturdays November 28 through December 27 and driving tours from 5 to 8pm Sunday and Tuesday evenings December 7 through December 30.
Walking tours are designed for those looking for a more immersive experience, as you can visit with special guests like Santa and Mrs. Claus and the Grinch, find lots of family photo opportunities, and enjoy food and refreshments on site (Rondele Ranch’s bars are open during the event).
And during walking tours, be sure to stop into Reagan’s Event Center for Coloring for Cocoa. Children can download one of our coloring sheets to color in advance and exchange for a free hot chocolate. A table will also be set up with pre-printed pages and crayons available for kids to color at Reagan’s Event Center.
Driving tours are accessible to everyone and allow visitors to enjoy one of the largest light displays in the state from the comfort of their own vehicles.
Admission is $25 per car at the gate (cash only), or visitors can save $5 by purchasing a ticket online ahead of time. Guests staying at one of Rondele Ranch’s lodging properties in December will receive free admission to the display.
