Get ready for the most magical holiday adventure in FTW: Christmas in the Garden is here.

Filling the Fort Worth Botanic Garden with magic and merriment through Jan. 4, this family-friendly light celebration lets guests sip, stroll, and meet Santa amidst a winter wonderland where holiday traditions meet southwestern charm.

🎄 Festivity fills the grounds

Wander along a self-guided trail of larger-than-life light installations, from a Gingerbread Walk and Texas Nutcrackers to the whimsical 12 Days of Christmas Cactuses.

Strike a pose with the giant illuminated Texas flag, stroll through the rainbow-bright Christmas Tree Grove, and marvel at a field of 1,000+ dancing bluebonnets. Plus, don’t forget your Instagram-worthy moment inside the magical ribbon tunnels.

🍭 Local bites that make spirits bright

Is it even the holidays without tasty treats? Lick your lips at the mouthwatering lineup of local favorites, including JD’s Burgers, Magdalena’s, Pulido’s, Curly’s Custard, and Margie’s Italian Gardens.

🎁 Nightly visits from Kris Kringle

Finally, for lots of good cheer, Santa stops by every evening through Christmas Eve to hear wish lists and capture keepsake photos.

We ho-ho-hope to see you there.
