I’m a huge fan of chocolate, in fact, it may be my favorite food. I also love the holidays, so why not combine the two at the Holiday Cactus Garden at Ethel M.

Kick off your holiday season at Ethel M Chocolates 31st annual Holiday Cactus Garden, featuring over 1 million holiday lights. This spectacular attraction is lit up nightly starting November 1st– January 4th, 2025.
This year, a $3 entrance fee per person is required and will be donated to Help of Southern Nevada and Three Square Food Bank. Children under 2 & Senior Citizens 65+ are FREE.
Santa will be available daily from 5pm to 1 hour prior to closing through Monday Dec. 23rd. This is to give enough time for people still in line to see him. Line cut-off will be at 9pm sharp. SANTA WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE AFTER 12/23/24.
