The 2025 program was inaugurated on December 6, coinciding with the feast of the patron saint San Nicola, with the opening of the ice rink in Piazza Berlinguer and the traditional Christmas Concert by the "Tesori d'Abruzzo" Chamber Orchestra in the Church of Sant'Agostino. The rink remained open until January 10, 2026, featuring the special inclusive afternoon "The Joy of Skating for Everyone" on December 29.

Key events included: the Christmas Luna Park (December 8), the concert by the Abruzzo Symphonic Institution (December 14), the gospel concert with "David Gulley & Cleveland Corale" in the Church of Santa Maria Assunta (December 23), the "Christmas Kids Village" (December 26-28), and "Rido al Lido — Xmas Edition" (December 29). There were also Christmas markets, the traveling novena with bagpipes and shawms, the Ludobus, and, to close the festivities, "The Epiphany Takes Flight" on January 6. Illuminations lit up the seafront, the historic center, and the hamlets.
