Merry Christmas! Can you believe it’s the end of the year already? We’re hanging lights, decorating trees and eating a few too many cookies.

We’re also heading out on the town to see all our favorite things around Dallas! The DFW area knows how to celebrate our favorite holiday of the year. Here at The Castillo Group, we wanted to share with you a few of our office faves.

1. Santa at the Arboretum.

This is Brianna’s number one spot! The Santa at the Arboretum was the first Santa she ever took her daughter Grace to see and has kept up the tradition since then. Commemorate your holiday season with an adorable photo for years to come! You can view the schedule here.

2. Grapevine Polar Express

A must-do for the whole family! As guests board the vintage train cars, you’ll drink hot cocoa served by the elves themselves. Full of cheer, you will have an assortment of holiday songs to warm your heart this Christmas season. You might even find yourself with a silver bell! Learn more here.

3. Northpark Mall Santa

There are so many wonderful Santa stops to ride your sleigh through. The Santa at Northpark Mall is another favorite of ours you can’t miss out on! View Santa’s schedule here.

4. Beverly Drive in Highland Park

Located in Highland Park, take a magical ride in a horse-drawn carriage and take in all the lights. An experience like something out of your favorite Christmas Hallmark movie. You’ll be sure to swoon as you stroll in the buggy down the magical streets! While you’re at it, check out Armstrong Avenue and Lakeside Drive as well.

Don’t get us wrong, we love celebrating at home too. If coloring an adorable gingerbread house whilst drinking milk and cookies is more your style, we’ve got you covered! Check out our free coloring pages perfect to quiet your littles for at least 20 minutes!
