Best in Texas™: Five Best San Antonio Area Towns for Christmas by ALEX.realestate

ALEX Labs just reviewed “The twinkliest town in Texas” by Culture Map. 5 destinations are an easy day trip from San Antonio. Dripping SpringsThough much of the season is geared around kids, the many distilleries, wineries, and breweries clustered around Dripping Springs offer some holiday fun for the adults. Hire a van to bop around some of Texas’ most spirited spots, including Jester King Brewery, Vista Brewing, Desert Door Sotol, and Deep Eddy Vodka. If nap time doesn’t completely waylay plans, Christmas on Mercer on December 2 is the perfect place for some buzzed shopping.”Research Dripping Springs real estate.FredericksburgWith its historic buildings and rows of quaint shops, Fredericksburg always seems ready to break into an Irving Berlin ditty. During Christmastime, the streets erupt into a full production number. Through January 7, 2024, the town’s market square hosts a daily lighting ceremony showcasing tales of Fredericksburg’s German heritage and Christmas carols. The Marktplatz also offers an ice-skating rink and one of Texas’ most dazzling selfie spots: a 26-foot tall wooden spinning Christmas pyramid.Research Fredericksburg real estate.Johnson CityJohnson City’s reputation as the “twinkliest town in Texas” isn’t a mere boast. Its downtown display, illuminated through January 7, 2024, is truly a spectacle with more than two million bulbs glittering in the night sky. The Blanco County Courthouse is the sparkling hub of several community events throughout the season. Don’t miss the annual chili cook-off on December 9, sponsored by some of the Hill Country’s best wineries and distilleries.Research Johnson City real estate.New BraunfelsMaybe it’s the easygoing river lifestyle, but New Braunfels has always played by its own rules. That’s especially true during the holiday season, when kids are delighted by visits from the chaps-clad Cowboy Kringle instead of good ole Saint Nick. That individualistic spirit carries over to the town’s schedule of events, including a one-person telling of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol on December 3 and caroling at the Natural Bridge Caverns.Research New Braunfels real estate. WimberleyThis charming hamlet has no shortage of holiday diversions like the annual Trail of Lights, a walking tour running through December 26. But before the stroll, expect to open the wallet. Wimberley Square is teeming with one-of-a-kind shops selling everything from boho Western gear to French country home goods. The hospitality scene is no slouch, either. Grab a quick pie at Community Pizza or splurge on shellfish and champagne at RR12 Supper Club.Research Wimberley real estate.
