Tucked away on the outskirts of West Monroe in the tiny town of Calhoun lies Candy Cane Lane.
Candy Cane Lane is run by the Hanson Family: Ben, Amy, Kaleb, Adrienne, Emily, Tommy, and Parker. The family had an annual tradition of checking out nearby holiday displays during Christmas, and as the kids grew older and moved away, Ben missed the festivity. After working for many months setting up the displays, Candy Cane Lane opened its doors for the first time in 2017.
