The Best Christmas Events in Dallas

Blog· Events· Holidays

Christmas in Dallas is always so fun because of the large amount of events that take place. Each year, I try to do as many events as possible, as well as add new events to my list. Texas is all about the “Go Big or Go Home” mentality and the events live up to the expectations. I’ve listed some of my favorite things to do during the Holiday Season each year.

Lone Star Christmas
Gaylord Texan
November 13, 2014 – January 3, 2015
We like to do things BIG in Texas and The Gaylord Texan doesn’t skip a beat. The entire hotel is decorated beautifully and is full of events for the whole family. Don’t miss out on ICE! featuring Frosty the Snowman. Tickets sell out in advance so purchase tickets before you go to ensure you will be able to see the exhibit.
Dallas arboretum Christmas
12 Days of Christmas 
Dallas Arboretum
November 22 – January 4, 2015
The Dallas Arboretum has added a new addition to their beautiful landscape this year. The 12 Days of Christmas are set up in 25 foot Victorian gazebos filled with costume characters and whimsical animals. These extravagantly decorated  gazebos span through a .75 mile walk. I would suggest going during the day rather than the night so you can get the full experience of the Arboretum.
Trains at Northpark Center The Trains at NorthPark 
NorthPark Center
November 22, 2014 – January 4, 2015
The most elaborate miniature toy trains exhibit in Texas, The Trains at NorthPark™ includes trains rolling across 1,600 feet of track on a journey across America. Cityscapes include downtown Dallas, with the iconic Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, the State Fair of Texas, the Cotton Bowl and the Perot Museum; New York City’s Times Square and Grand Central Station; Washington, D.C. with The White House; New England’s fall foliage; the Grand Canyon, Route 66, San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge and hot air balloons in Albuquerque.

Dallas Galleria Christmas Tree
Mistletoes and the Christmas Tree at Dallas Galleria
Dallas Galleria
November 10, 2014 – January 4, 2015
Dallas boasts the largest indoor Christmas tree in America, right in the center of the Galleria’s indoor skate rink. Misletoes is their ice skating Santa that does back flips and has fireworks shoot out of his skates. It’s definitely a sight to see. If anything head to the mall and snap a picture with the beautiful Christmas Tree.
Sparkle at the Anatole
Sparkle! Christmas at the Anatole!
Hilton Anatole
November 28, 2014 – January 4, 2015
Great event for the whole family! There is an ice skating rink, inflatables, pie eating contest, food trucks and more. Your kids won’t want to leave the Christmas Carol Slide that has Santa at the top waiting for them! It’s inside so perfect for those cold days. Read my Sparkle at the Anatole review.
TubaChristmasBanner
TubaChristmas
Thanksgiving Square
December 24, 2014
Tuba Christmas (almost) always takes place on Christmas Eve. 2014 is the 41st anniversary for TUBACHRISTMAS concerts/events which are presented throughout the world. More info.
a christmas carol
A Christmas Carol
Wyly Theatre
November 25 – December 27, 2014
‘Tis the season to be jolly, when last season’s sold-out, family-favorite, holiday production of A Christmas Carol returns to the Wyly Theatre. In this delightfully re-imagined take on Dickens’ enduring classic, featuring Chamblee Ferguson as Ebenezer Scrooge, the audience is surrounded by the actors, with magical ghosts flying above, scary ghosts bursting out of the floor, and snow falling on everyone. Full of traditional Christmas hymns and songs in fresh, toe-tapping musical arrangements, joyful bursts of choreography, and eye-popping special effects, A Christmas Carol is Dallas’ newest “must-see” holiday tradition.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Majestic Theater Dallas
December 16 – 21, 2014
The most famous reindeer of all reindeer lands on-stage in Dallas this Christmas as Wishing Star Productions brings the screen-classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, to life for your whole family to enjoy. Rudolph is joined by his friends Hermey the Elf and Yukon Cornelius to help Santa save Christmas. With beautiful, vibrant sets and costumes, music and incredible puppetry, this local production of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a wonderful for children to enjoy the magic of the theater this Christmas.

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW. We ordered a variety of items from burritos, bowls, queso and more. Every single item was bursting with flavor. If you like spicy,  I highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken Burrito. 🔥 Don't forget to add on a Margarita pop - nothing beats alcohol and Mexican food delivered straight to your door!

Order directly from their site your from your favorite delivery service!
I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
