For a whole hour, you’ll ride past stately homes whose halls have been decked in the most elegant way possible.

Trees are wrapped in lights from tip to trunk, wreaths adorn every window, and nutcrackers stand guard just outside the front door.

Columns resembling candy canes stand tall and proud, the epitome of yuletide whimsy.

Not a single tree is left bare as if to amplify the holiday magic wherever possible.

Every inch of space is utilized, with roofs, trees, and bushes adorned with glittering bulbs.

Occasionally, you might even catch a glimpse of Saint Nick himself on the front lawn (look closely and you’ll see him peering around the entryway!)

This year, the pickup location is the Transwestern Building, which is located on Turtle Creek Boulevard in Dallas.

Best christmas lights in texas October 24, 2022 Chris Muras Where is the best Christmas town in Texas? You do know that isn’t really a fair question because Christmas in Texas is magical wherever you go. But if we had to pick some great cities to visit in this fine state of ours we think you should check out these 10 towns where you can find holiday lights in Texas. We’ll give you a sneak peek but you should really read the whole article to find out more. Grapevine, Texas is called the “Christmas Capital of Texas.” And for good reason. Millions of lights dance throughout the city each year as you enjoy synchronized light shows, ice skating, and music. You can even write a note to Santa and drop it off at one of the special mailboxes for Santa. What is there to do in Galveston at Christmas? Galveston is a beautiful city located on the Gulf of Mexico. With beaches for days and warm weather year-round who doesn’t love a trip to Galveston? However, Christmas is a particularly special time of year to be in Galveston. The city comes alive with lights and decorations, and there are a variety of holiday-themed activities to enjoy. Visitors can take a festive trolley ride around downtown, stroll through the historic Victorian district, or enjoy holiday shopping at the many unique shops. Of course, no trip to Galveston would be complete without spending some time on the beach, although at this time of year you might want to only dip your toesies in because the water will be pretty chilly. The white sand and blue water are stunning against the backdrop of all the holiday lights though. Is there a Hogwarts Christmas Village in Galveston Texas? It’s funny you ask, it’s almost like you already know the answer. Are you a wizard by any chance? If you are, you will fit right in at the Hogwarts Christmas Village and Market event in Kempner Park in Galveston. Everything you love about Harry Potter including butterbeer, lavish costumes, Olivanders, Quidditch, and of course Harry Potter-themed gifts, food, and festivities. Even better you can dress up in your best Potter garb and attend Wizard Winter Formal - it’s like your very own Yule Ball at Galveston’s Historic 1880 Garten Verein. This historic garden club is the perfect venue for a magical Harry Potter Christmas.
