Macy's City Creek Center prepares to unveil traditional Candy Windows

A sweet and colorful holiday tradition... unwrapping magic and joy tonight in downtown Salt Lake City — the Candy Windows are coming back in full glory. It's been something Utahns have been able to look for since the early 1970s in the days of ZCMI. After a few years hiatus after the company was purchased, Macy's brought the display back in 2011. 

Maria Shilaos has found memories of the Candy Windows, both as a young person and as a parent. She's joined in the studio by two people involved in the project, Macy's spokesperson Alicia Richmond and candy artist Jennifer Vesper.

As a respected journalist, Maria Shilaos has earned the trust of listeners across Utah. Her show isn’t just about the news—it’s about the people behind it. Join her each weekday as she digs deeper, asks the important questions, and shares the stories that connect us all.
