Grapevine Texas...otherwise known as The Christmas Capital of Texas. (For real)
Have you been there yet?! If not you need to go! Grapevine is a wonderful town to visit any time of the year, but during the Christmas season it is a must see! This town hosts over 1,400 Christmas Events in 40 days. Yes you read that right! There are so many things to do and see here it is impossible to list it all. On top of all the events, Grapevine is covered in millions of lights, has huge decorations throughout the town, a wreath on every light pole, and every shop is decorated in Christmas spirit. There are also daily snow flurries, tractor wagon rides, festive music playing, a Grinch Whoville area, and so much more. I love being there at night, with a hot chocolate, strolling up and down Main Street and soaking in the holiday feel of it. But if you are not able to get there at night the day is also still great. The best way I can describe it is, if you like Hallmark movies, you will feel like you have been dropped right into one in this town! (I am a huge fan of this area in case that wasn't already obvious).
While you are there don't miss the 45 minute City Hall Light Show Spectacular and the singing Christmas Tree next to the Town Square Gazebo that run after sunset. The Torian Cabin is also a must see that is totally decorated in rustic Christmas decor. It is a photographers dream location with all the beautiful wood/brick, and all the holiday props surrounding it. So many photo opporunities. For a really cute picture step into the Mistletoe Booth.
As if this is not enough reason to visit the town, the Shops that line Main Street are amazing. So many wonderful gift ideas, great finds, and unique items. If you are looking for something other than shopping you can also check out The Historic Palace Theater that runs holiday concerts as well as classic holiday movies. If you get to spend the entire day in town get yourself some tickets and enjoy a show.
And in case you feel the need to see more than just the amazing downtown, stay the night in Grapevine. A few minutes down the road is Gaylord Texan Resort featuring ICE! This is a must see also, if you ask me. It has 2 million pounds of life-sized ice sculptures, this year A Charlie Brown Christmas is the theme, ice slides, a half million lights, 12,000 ornaments, and a 52 foot tall Christmas tree! Incredible! Or Great Wolf Lodge is another great location where you can escape to SNOWLAND. The resort transforms into a winter wonderland with nightly snow showers, crafts, and holiday festivities.
Grapevine is a perfect place to create Christmas Memories, and will forever be a holiday tradition for my family!
