It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year — Christmas in Cordova is Back for its 16th season!

Rancho Cordova’s 16th Annual Christmas in Cordova celebration returns this December, spreading warmth, joy, and the magic of the season to families across our community. Hosted by RCPD’s PAL program, the event is built on a heartfelt belief: every child deserves to have a present to open on Christmas morning. Families will enjoy a cheerful drive-through experience where RCPD officers provide brand-new toys for children, helping make Christmas morning extra special.
