Waiting for Christmas

Waiting for Christmas 2025

The 2025 edition took place throughout the month of December in Ronzo-Chienis, in Val di Gresta. On Saturday, December 9, the nativity scene was set up in the Piazzèra of Chienis, remaining visible throughout the Christmas period. On Sunday, December 12, Saint Lucy arrived with her donkey at the S. Rocco shrine: after telling a story to the children, she led them in a procession to the church square, where she distributed gifts around a large bonfire, with hot tea, hot chocolate, and mulled wine, and where the little ones handed in their letters.

On Saturday, December 18, a guided tour of the Fruit and Vegetable Consortium was held with tastings of valley products, while local taverns offered menus featuring local specialties. The main evening event took place on December 20, filled with choirs, lights, and the atmosphere of a mountain Christmas.
