🎄 A Truly Magical Holiday Tradition: Brasile’s Christmas Open House

By Kayla Hawley Macaroni KID North Huntingdon December 10, 2025

If you're looking for something truly special to do with your family this weekend, Brasile’s Christmas Open House in Latrobe is an experience you won’t want to miss. We visited this past weekend, and the effort the family has put into benefiting a wonderful cause is apparent.

This isn’t just a walk-through display.
This is a local family literally opening their home to the community, transforming every room into a beautifully decorated Christmas wonderland.

From the moment you pull up outside, you're greeted with festive lights, themed trees, and the warm, nostalgic feeling of being welcomed into someone’s home for the holidays. It’s charming, cozy, and absolutely packed with Christmas magic.





Meet Santa & Enjoy Holiday Treats

Kids can visit with Santa and snap a photo, then warm up with free hot cocoa and cookies by the campfire. The first 200 children receive free treat bags, and each room has a fun theme.

One of the favorite stops?
The Candy Land room, my kids were obsessed.



Don't let Sawyer's face fool you, he was loving it, he just didn't want to sit still!
 Toddler fun.


🍪 Don’t Miss Mrs. Claus’ Gingerbread House

Make sure you stop by Mrs. Claus’ gingerbread house, where you can purchase classic holiday treats like:

  • Ladylocks
  • Cookies
  • Peanut butter fudge
  • Chocolate fudge
  • …and more!

(These are cash-only sales, and absolutely worth grabbing while you can!)


💛 Supporting Local Autistic & Special Needs Classrooms

One of the most beautiful parts of this event is the purpose behind it.
Donations collected during Brasile’s Christmas Open House go directly to supporting local autistic and special needs classrooms.

This family pours an incredible amount of work, money, and heart into creating this holiday experience, and they use it to bless local kids and educators. It’s truly a community event in the purest sense.

🎁 A Beautiful Community Tradition

Brasile’s Christmas Open House is a joyful blend of holiday magic, community spirit, and generosity. It’s the kind of event that reminds you what the season is truly about. Kindness, wonder, and coming together to support one another.
