Various activities will make your Houston trip memorable irrespective of the season. Christmas is especially a favorite time of the year.

During this season, Christmas lights form magical displays, delectable hot chocolate is in plenty, and there’s cheer all around.

Furthermore, people enjoy spending time with family members and share lasting memories. While Christmas is typically associated with shopping and exchanging gifts, you should consider creating these new traditions.

Christmas Tree Farm

Instead of obtaining your tree from a huge box store this year, visit a tree farm. You’ll discover that several of the farms are family-owned businesses that integrate fun activities that you can enjoy after or before you cut your tree.

You’ll also find that several of the farms have rides, gift shops, and events throughout this season even if you’ve gotten a tree already. Some of the farms to consider include Spring Greek Growers, which offers premium trees.

Christmas Displays and Lights

Bayou Bend, which is part of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), holds its yearly Yuletide event from mid-November until New Year’s Day. Although its themes may vary from one year to the next, its decorations seek to illuminate some of the early Christmas traditions in America.

Displays comprise a tree gallery and live reenactments of notable moments. Additionally, Bayou Bend features numerous Yuletide Thursdays and Candlelight Fridays, featuring refreshments and live music.

You and your family can begin a new tradition of experiencing the joys of light displays in the Greater Houston Area.

You could stroll through residential areas to view intricate lighting designs or spend an evening downtown witnessing the heart of this city covered in décor.

Some of the best neighborhoods to view Christmas lights include Prestonwood Forest, which has been participating in elaborate displays since the 70s.

Performances

You’ll discover there’s no shortage of holiday concerts and performances in Houston. Some of the performances to watch out for include The Nutcracker and A Christmas Story.

You can look forward to annual performances such as Handel’s Messiah by the Houston Symphony. You can also enjoy movies, live concerts, and other family-friendly activities at different venues such as Discovery Green where you can enjoy ice skating.

Festivals

During the holiday season, Houston lights up with various festivals that will certainly keep you busy and entertained this Christmas. Some of them include Dickinson Festival of Lights.

Your family will enjoy the walk-thru festival just outside Houston. Ensure you check out the annual festival that has been taking place for more than a decade at no cost. This festival is also suitable for kids who can take pictures with Santa and enjoy a train ride.

You should also consider the Festival of Lights, which takes place at Moody Gardens each year. The spectacular lighting event features over a million lights decorating animated displays along the trail.

Your kids will enjoy this new tradition because they’ll find the Snow Zone enjoyable. Other fun activities include a skating rink, gift market, and 3-D films. Fortunately, Moody Gardens opens daily throughout the holiday season, so call for operating hours and show schedules.

Christmas is typically a time for making merry and spending time with friends and family. If you’re used to shopping and exchanging gifts every year, perhaps it’s time to create new traditions. If you don’t know where to begin, this list should be a great start.
