It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I really do think it is! I have rounded up some  local San Antonio Christmas events that are great for families this year.

Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love the holiday cheer and the cooler Texas weather. I do miss the Michigan snow though!

Christmastime for my family is about making memories, like the time I started a (small) kitchen fire when making tamales….it was an accident and I am a way better cook now!

My favorite Christmas memories from childhood:

  1. Playing in the snow or just watching the snow fall…so beautiful!
  2. Picking out our real Christmas tree each year and decorating it as a family!
  3. Christmas Eve meant a big family gathering where we opened all of our presents.

  • Santa’s Ranch has over a mile of holiday lights and displays. You and your family can drive through enjoying the sights and listening to Christmas music! The price is per the carload–$28 per vehicle. They also sell yummy snacks like homemade hot cocoa and kettle corn. This one is definitely on our Christmas bucket list this year!

They also have active military discounts, the same family special for military families is only $18! Check out their website by clicking on their name above, you won’t want to pass this up this year.
  • Enchanted Springs Ranch “Cowboy Christmas”-This ranch is set as an authentic old western town. Our family visited last year and we loved it, they have a wagon ride through their beautiful land that is full of fun animals to see. We didn’t go during the Christmas season, but want to this year. They have Christmas caroling and music and a Cowboy Santa to take pictures with. Their website says their set will become a “Christmas Western Wonderland” with lots of activities for the kids. This ranch is located in Borene, which is not too far away. Prices:Adults: $14, Military/Seniors: $12, Children (Ages 3-12): $7, Kids under 3: Free
  • The Nutcracker by Ballet San Antonio is a great way to kick off of the holiday season. This is performed at the Tobin Center and tickets start at $29. This is probably not a good fit for my 2 year old but I bet my 8 yr old will love it! This show is only during the first two weeks of December, click here to see show times.
  • Klove Christmas Concert This concert is coming to the Laurie Auditorium on December 20th. Performers are Tenth Avenue North, Natalie Grant, Sidewalk Prophets, Danny Gokey. Tickets range from $29 and up. We went as a family last year and my husband and I loved it! PS.
