Our family recently kicked off the holiday season with a visit to Harford Holidays at Leidos Field at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, MD. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just another holiday event—it was an enchanting celebration that truly brought the magic of the season to life!

Festive Light Displays
The stadium was aglow with dazzling light displays that transformed the ballpark into a winter wonderland. Walking through the illuminated paths was breathtaking, and the kids couldn’t stop pointing out their favorite displays. It felt like we’d stepped into a holiday fairytale!
S’mores & Sleigh Rides
One of the highlights for our little ones (and us!) was the s’mores station. There’s something so cozy about toasting marshmallows over a fire on a chilly evening. The sleigh ride, with its scenic view of the sparkling lights, was the perfect way to soak in the festive atmosphere. It was a family favorite and a magical experience that left everyone smiling.
Vendor Village & Santa’s Workshop
The Vendor Village offered a unique shopping experience filled with handcrafted gifts, seasonal treats, and cheerful holiday music. We found some adorable keepsakes to bring home! Santa’s Workshop was a hit with the kids, who loved making crafts and chatting with Santa about their holiday wishes.

Mrs. Claus’ Storytime
As parents, we were thrilled to see how engaged our children were during Mrs. Claus’ storytime. Her warmth and charm made the stories come alive, creating a wonderful moment of holiday magic for the whole family to enjoy together. Adding to the excitement was a surprise visit from Ferrous, the beloved team mascot of the Aberdeen IronBirds. He joined in the storytelling fun, bringing extra smiles and laughter. The kids loved taking photos and spending time with Ferrous—it was a unique and memorable touch that made the evening even more special.
