Visit the Christmas Capital of Texas
If you are new to Texas or this is your first year celebrating Christmas in DFW, you MUST visit Grapevine during the month of December. This historic North Texas town is filled with cute shops, art galleries, bakeries and so much more. But during Christmas time, you could mistake it for Whoville! Famous for it’s North Pole Express ride, Grapevine is filled with so much more Christmas activities you can’t miss.

Give back with the Christmas Blanket Drive
Let’s be real, most kids love Christmas time because of the gifts they receive and getting to sit on Santa’s lap. Although this part of the holiday creates great memories, it is important to teach the “true meaning” of Christmas as well: creating happiness for others. HDNP is a nonprofit organization located in Arlington, TX that holds an annual Christmas Blanket Drive for the homeless on Christmas Eve from 10am – 2pm. This small act of kindness is the perfect way to give back and create a thoughtful tradition for you and your family.

Experience the 12 Days of Christmas in real life
The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens hosts an annual outdoor exhibit featuring the 12 Days of Christmas. This 7.5 mile walk through the garden takes you on a journey to find the glass gazebo’s encased with characters from the famous 12 Days of Christmas carol. The park is open in the day, but to get the full experience you must go at night when the gazebos and gardens are lit. This is the perfect place to sing your heart out with friends and family with no judgement!
