Christmas by Candlelight is Old Sturbridge Village's ticketed holiday evening program at the 1830s living-history museum in Sturbridge. Visitors walk the decorated Village and the lit Christmas Tree Trail, watch demonstrations of classic Christmas projects, hear stories and live music, and sample sweet treats. It runs Friday through Sunday each weekend from November 27 to December 27, 2026, 2:00 to 8:00 pm, and is closed Friday, December 25. Date-specific tickets go on sale in the fall; single-evening prices had not been posted as of late September. A Candlelight Club pass for unlimited visits all season is on sale now at $125 per person, or $100 for OSV members, with children 3 and under free. Groups of 15 or more can book at $25 per person.
