Step into a world of sugarplum dreams and peppermint magic at this year’s Christmas Parade: A Candy-Coated Christmas!

The streets of Mannford will transform into a dazzling Candyland, where floats sparkle with gumdrops and lollipops, marching bands carry candy-striped drums, and dancers twirl with peppermint canes in hand. From gingerbread villages and frosting-topped snowmen to a Peppermint Express train and Sugarplum Fairy Forest, every float promises a feast for the eyes and the imagination.

Children dressed as Gumdrop Kids, Peppermint Elves, and Nutcracker Candy Soldiers will march alongside larger-than-life candy canes and glowing lollipops. Expect bubble machines filling the air with shimmering “gumdrop bubbles,” lights twinkling like sugar crystals, and music that blends classic carols with playful candy-inspired twists.

The parade is more than just a procession — it’s an immersive holiday adventure. Crowds will cheer as candy is tossed from floats and the community comes together to celebrate the sweetest season of all.

✨ With every float, costume, and smile, A Candy-Coated Christmas will deliver holiday joy in its most magical (and delicious) form.

Can't wait to see all the entries! Let your creative juices flow! The parade will begin at 6pm. Be sure to light up your float as we’ll once again host the parade at nighttime.
