Perhaps you’re thinking you’re just not ready to think about the holidays yet? I understand, I really do. But if you want to secure some of the most popular and sought after holiday attractions this Christmas in Dallas and the surrounding areas – you need to start now.
In fact, one of the attractions below is almost sold out already! So let’s get going on this top five list – of holiday attractions in DFW to reserve now…
There is no where quite as festive and beautiful as the Hilton Anatole during the holiday season. The decorations are gorgeous and over the top in the best way! In my opinion, there is no where else in the DFW area that does quite as nice a job of marrying family fun – and romantic holiday atmosphere together. My daughter swoons over the holiday Breakfast with Santa, and my husband and I enjoy holding hands and eating a beautiful gourmet meal at SĒR.
And this year, Christmas at the Anatole is getting even bigger! The addition of Peppermint Park will add even more games and activities for kids, plus visits with Santa Claus, holiday shows, train rides around the park, light displays and more!
This is a very popular holiday destination – start booking it now!
2. Christmas Shows –
Did you know Dallas Summer Musicals has Irving Berlins’ White Christmas this holiday? Book tickets now! December 5-10th Music Hall at Fair Park. It’s a great place to see theater with your family!
Does your family make a tradition of The Nutcracker? Playing all around DFW, those shows are starting to book up too. Plan your holiday theater trips now! The best seats won’t be available long!
3. North Pole Express in Grapevine –
Okay, before I tell you why I love this attraction and why it is one of our family traditions – I have to tell you to move quickly on this one…
As of this post being published, North Pole Express is already close to selling out!
I’m not kidding. Run, don’t walk if this event sounds like a must do for your family. Some North Pole Express departure times still remain, but they won’t be available long. But no worries, even if you don’t get a train ticket – you can still enjoy the beautiful ambience of the Christmas Capital of Texas – Grapevine!
4. Ice and Lonestar Christmas –
The Gaylord Texan Resort is not only a hot DFW summer destination, it also turns into a winter wonderland during the holiday season. The holiday activities include 12 lanes of snow tubing, outdoor ice rink, gingerbread cookie decorating, Santa’s Snow throw, and ICE!
ICE! is a walk through holiday attraction kept at a chilly 9 degrees featuring two million pounds of hand‐carved ice sculptures and five ice slides! See Ma in her kerchief, Pa in his cap and more as the classic holiday poem, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas comes to life. Book one activity or them all!
UPDATE: I have a discount code just for my readers, but you must book before 11/21 to use it!Enjoy!
5. Enchant –
The Lone Star State is about to get a lot brighter….a truly magical event is coming to Globe Life Park in Arlington this Christmas! Enchant is the World’s largest Christmas Light Maze and Market! And it’s debuting this holiday season – right in the heart of DFW.
