Make your merry way up the hill this holiday season to Huntsville, home to the Christmas Village. Located just north of Houston, The Christmas Village makes its debut for the holiday season with carriage rides, artisan shops, and millions of lights.
Having just hosted its Grand Opening, The Christmas Village in Huntsville is a Christmas theme park imbued with an atmosphere of holiday cheer.
What is The Christmas Village?
The village emulates a Hallmark-esque small town populated with the likes of a town square and main street lined with nostalgic storefronts – think depots, blacksmiths, and wood shops.
“We wanted to recreate an atmosphere of Christmas nostalgia. So we took the timeless beauty found in historical buildings and trains as our inspiration, using it to craft a unique attraction that captures the charm and character of classic Christmas stories“.
Things to do at The Christmas Village
Featured venues at the Christmas Village include the Lantern Light Cinema, an outdoor theater set to screen all your favorite classic Christmas movies over the course of the season, as well as the Jingle Jolly Stage, where the village hosts live music performances playing renditions of holiday jams.
Attractions at the village are intended to awaken the Christmas spirit of all visitors. Offering magical experiences from horse-drawn carriage rides and wagonette rides through a trail of lights, fire-side s’mores, and all sorts of cozy bars and restaurants.
