What if one Christmas outing could entertain the kids, help parents finish their holiday shopping, create lasting memories and make a difference in a child's life?

That's what Family Jingle & Mingle (FJAM) is bringing to Amazing Fun Park in Mississauga on Sunday, December 13, 2026.

Celebrating its 8th edition, this volunteer-run holiday tradition, produced by Kind Projects, brings families, entrepreneurs and the community together for a full day of Christmas festivities while supporting a children's charity.

Christmas Magic That Gives Back

Net proceeds will support Music For Every Child, a Mississauga-rooted, youth-led registered charity providing music therapy to children with special needs. Working with schools and certified music therapists, the charity helps children develop communication skills, confidence, emotional regulation and meaningful connections through music.

"Christmas is about creating joy and sharing it," says Gaby Mammone, founder of Family Jingle & Mingle and CEO of Kind Projects. "When families come together to celebrate, knowing they're also helping another child experience the power of music, that's when the magic becomes truly meaningful."

More Than a Christmas Market. A Full Day of Family Fun!

Families can look forward to:

Santa and Mrs. Claus, festive characters and photo opportunities
Live entertainment featuring dancers, magicians and local performers
Holiday shopping with local entrepreneurs, artisans and small businesses
Interactive attractions, including arcade games, soft play and virtual reality
Audience karaoke and a Dignitary Ugly Sweater Contest
Jingle Giveaways, festive treats and complimentary gift wrapping
A charity silent auction supporting Music For Every Child

Families purchasing advance tickets can enjoy the festivities throughout the day without Amazing Fun Park's usual two-hour visit limit.

A Christmas Party Where Everyone Belongs

Founded in 2013 by combining several company Christmas parties into one celebration, Family Jingle & Mingle has grown into a community tradition welcoming everyone.

"Not everyone has a company Christmas party to attend, especially entrepreneurs and small business owners," explains Mammone. "So we created one big Christmas party where everyone is welcome. Just bring your family and your Christmas spirit!"

The event is made possible through volunteers, who also gain opportunities to learn, grow and contribute to their community.
