The Coeur d’Alene Resort Holiday Light Show + Journey to the North Pole Cruises

Get ready for lights, family and lots of magic during what has become one of the region’s most cherished holiday traditions. The Holiday Light Show runs through January 1, 2019.

This enchanting event includes a host of amazing holiday experiences all in one location including the Journey to the North Pole Cruise, where families cruise across Lake Coeur d’Alene to the North Pole, getting close up views of all the light displays—comprised of more than 1.5 million lights. At the North Pole, Santa greets kids and calls them by name from the “good list.” Each North Pole visit culminates with a huge fireworks finale, along with one of the world’s largest floating Christmas trees animated to holiday music.

Other attractions include live carolers, story time with Santa’s elves, Christmas Unwrapped presented by Ellen Travolta, and Dockside Sunday brunch with Santa.

For those who stay at The Coeur d’Alene Resort, Santa’s elves deliver cookies and milk to their rooms when guests turn in each night. At the hotel on the lake, you don’t just believe in the magic of the holidays—you feel it.

The Coeur d’Alene Resort has been delighting guests for more than 30 years with luxurious accommodations and North Idaho adventures. It completed a $10 million renovation project in 2018.
