Route 66 Christmas Chute: Most Beautiful Christmas Display in Oklahoma

Ready to be transported to what you might envision as Santa’s North Pole, full of dazzling decorations and places to get hot chocolate, candy, and truffles? Well, the Route 66 Christmas Chute in Oklahoma is that place.
In fact, we think it’s one of the best holiday destinations in America. But maybe we’re a bit biased since we call Oklahoma home. If you live near Tulsa or are just passing through this season, you cannot miss visiting this holiday spectacular with thousands of lights.
Where Is the Route 66 Christmas Chute?
The Christmas Chute is along the historic Route 66 route in Sapulpa, Oklahoma. Sapulpa is about 20 minutes from downtown Tulsa or an hour and a half from Oklahoma City.


Things To See and Do While Visiting
The charming small-town feel and festive decor are sure to get you into the holiday spirit. It takes local volunteers and business owners over a month to decorate walkable canopies covered with thousands of Christmas decorations.
In 2022, when we visited the first time, the covered walkways had delightful themes such as “Candyland,” “Rudolph,” and “Gingerbread Lane,” along with festive music playing.
2024’s annual “Lights On!” event was November 14th. Decorations stay up until December 29th.
Along with touring the lights and walking the historic Route 66 strip, visitors can enjoy scheduled events like meeting Santa or seeing live reindeer. Or reserve an igloo and roast s’mores. Check out the local restaurants, retailers, and pop-up shops. There is even a scavenger hunt for the kids.
This isn’t just a magical Christmas wonderland for children. My husband and I stopped at a local coffee shop and warmed up with hot chocolate, and then we got truffles next door. We were giddy with holiday cheer. It is the perfect date night activity, and we highly recommend visiting.
Sapulpa’s Route 66 Christmas Chute has been a national hit. It was even featured on NBC’s ‘Today’ Show in 2022.
Where To Park
Visitors can park in any public parking space in downtown Sapulpa. The decorated section of Route 66 is closed to traffic, so walking around and taking photos is safe.

Yes, It Is Free!
It is free to tour around and enjoy the decorations.
