The holidays are
finally here! It’s a wonderful, blissful time of year wherever you live, a time
of waiting for the first snow to fall and meeting with friends and family you
haven’t seen all year. There’s something playful and exciting in the air. This is
especially true here in College Station, where we proudly apply the Texan
tradition of making everything bigger to our holiday cheer. Here the
residential streets are decked out in impressive lights and yard displays. The
Christmas pageants are a spectacle, and there are several outings full of
holiday cheer for Christmas lovers. Here are some of the holiday events going
on in College Station this year:
Santa’s Wonderland
If you live in
Brazos Valley, you may have already visited Santa’s Wonderland this year.
Located at 18898 Hwy 6, College Station, it opens as early as November 11th and
stays open through the first week of the new year. Santa’s Wonderland is a
holiday paradise. It’s a massive campus full of Christmas light displays, food
stands, and shopping centers to find the perfect gift this year. It has
everything from hayrides to carriage rides, a chance to see Santa Claus (decked
out in a cowboy hat and all), live music, and lovable mascots like Marshall
Frostbite, the snowman charged with “defending the spirit of Christmas.” Kids
can enjoy the tallest mountain slide in Texas and the petting zoo, while
parents can stop into the Wonderland winery. To finish off the day of family
fun, there’s a big screen that plays your favorite holiday movies.
Community Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony
On November 30 at
5:30pm, the Bryan-College Station community will hold their annual tree
lighting ceremony at the George Bush Presidential Library Center. Musical
entertainment will kick off the ceremony, and there will be celebrity guests to
help light the large, beautiful Christmas tree. Throughout the month, you can
visit the tree and take a family photo to cherish for years or send to long
distant friends and family. The George Bush Presidential Library will also be
collecting non-perishable food items and toys for Food for Families Food Drive
and Toys for Tots, to help families in need during this time.
Christmas in the Park
Christmas in the
Park runs from December 1-3 from 6-10pm. There, the Stephen C. Beachy Central
Park is decked out in lights and transformed into a world of fun. Hayrides,
inflatables, live entertainment, hot cocoa, and, of course, the big man in the
red suit himself can all be found at this event. To make it easier to get
there, shuttle buses run from downtown to the park and back starting at 5:30
and ending at 10:30. Guests are free to bring their own refreshments, but no
alcohol is allowed. If you don’t bring refreshments, don’t worry. There will be
plenty of food vendors right there at the park.
College Station is
a sight to behold, and an even better place to live, during the holiday season.
From our community, we’d like to wish you and your family a very happy holiday
season. If you decide to make the move this season to College Station, choose a
real estate professional and local expert to
help you find the right home--and the best places to celebrate this year.
