Most Festive Texas Cities to Visit During the Holidays

We love the holidays in Texas; there's nothing like putting up the tree, the lights & the decorations in celebration of the holiday season. Some cities are more festive than others & here are the best Texas cities to visit for the holidays.

San Antonio, Texas

Without a doubt, San Antonio truly turns up the Christmas spirit along the River Walk. It's usually the highlight when people go to visit; something about seeing the Christmas lights along the water makes it even more beautiful.

Nacogdoches, Texas

A city filled with history, the highlight during the Christmas season in Nacogdoches is the Nine Flags Christmas Festival they hold every year. It's certainly magical when it's held and passing by the century old historic buildings.

Galveston, Texas

Have you ever wanted to ride on The Polar Express? Well the Galveston Train Museum offers a special Polar Express themed ride every year; also the Moody Gardens is a favorite for looking at the Christmas lights.

Johnson City, Texas

You know your city has some of the best Christmas Lights when NASA can see it from outer space. That's the case at Johnson City, Texas. There's a reason they're called the "twinkliest town in Texas'.

Fredericksburg, Texas

Fredericksburg, Texas is well known for its German heritage & culture. It's also known for its Christmas Night of Lights festival held on Main Street. The town may be tiny, but the love for the holidays is MASSIVE.

Grapevine, Texas

And finally we couldn't leave out "the Christmas capital of Texas" could we? That honor goes to Grapevine, Texas. Over 1,400 holiday events happen in this small town alone, along with its annual Parade of Lights. Very impressive for a town of just over 50,000 people.

Some of the other places listed as the best Christmas cities in Texas include Boerne, Marshall, College Station, Grand Prairie, Fort Worth, New Braunfels, & Georgetown.
