Mosongo Osong, owner of Catholic Marketing Network and founder of Faith Platforms LLC and CatholicBrain, Inc. was inspired to create Christmas Joypark after experiencing frustration with the secular nature of many Christmas events and parks. "I attended several Christmas events with my children, and it saddened me to see that they all hid the true meaning of Christmas," says Osong. "These experiences led me to establish an event that brings Christ back into Christmas and allows families to celebrate the season with its true spirit."
Christmas Joypark began in December 2021 at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, originally named the St. Nicholas Christmas Show. The two-day show featured inspirational speakers, live Christmas music, a Christmas pageant, storytime and pictures with St. Nicholas, Christmas lights, and shopping from various Christian retailers. The inaugural event attracted 750 attendees over two days. The following year, attendance more than doubled, with over 1,500 people participating.
This year, the event will be held outdoors at the expansive 50-acre Myers Park in McKinney, Texas, allowing for even more activities and attractions. The four-day celebration will offer a variety of engaging experiences, including:
-
Walkthrough Nativity Scene: Depicting the story leading to the birth of Christ
-
Live Christmas Music: Enjoy performances from talented musicians celebrating the season with joyful tunes.
-
Christmas Pageant: Witness the nativity story brought to life in a beautiful and moving pageant.
-
Storytime and Pictures with St. Nicholas: Delight in stories of St. Nicholas and capture memories with festive photos.
-

-

-
Christmas Shopping: Browse a tasteful market featuring unique gifts and decorations from local Christian retailers.
-
Hay Rides: Take a scenic ride through the beautifully decorated park.
-
Food Trucks: Where attendees can get food from a variety of local food trucks
-

The goal of Christmas Joypark is to provide kids and families with an opportunity to experience the true meaning and joy of Christmas. With the theme "Bringing Christ Back into Christmas," the event seeks to remind attendees of the spiritual significance of the holiday.
"We are excited to host Christmas Joypark at Myers Park this year," says Osong. "It's a wonderful opportunity for families to come together, celebrate their faith, and create lasting memories."
