Festive Tradition

The holiday season in Red River, New Mexico, is about to get even more magical with the return of Santa’s Secret Workshop. Scheduled for December 16–17, 2025, this free community event offers locals and visitors alike a warm, festive space to prepare for the holidays in style.

When winter settles over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Red River transforms into a magical wonderland. One of the most beloved traditions is Switch on the Holidays, an annual celebration that brings locals and visitors together to kick off the Christmas season in true mountain-town style.
