2025 Christmas & Winter Holidays
Celebrate the winter season with holiday parades, holiday light tours, a visit with Santa, the Nutcracker ballet and caroling. Welcome winter with a solstice gathering or attend a community Christmas tree lighting — or a covered bridge lighting!
Celebrate Hanukkah with a menorah lighting. Gather with friends for Kwanzaa. Go shopping for holiday gifts at artisan markets, at malls or in charming shopping districts. And don't forget to make reservations for holiday dinners or Christmas brunch at a local restaurant.
