Speaking on behalf of the businesses involved, Caroline Stanyer, joint owner of Stanley and Lottie on Penrhyn Road, said: "Colwyn Bay's small, local business community is growing and is the heart of the town.
"The late night Christmas shopping evenings are a great opportunity for the local community and visitors to shop, grab a bite to eat, have a festive drink and explore what the town has to offer.
"There will also be special offers and Christmas treats galore.
"We would love people to support us."
