How to Celebrate December in Dallas

By Isabella Grover

Along with the cold weather, winter celebrations have arrived in Dallas this December. Although students are gearing up for finals and end-of-year projects, it’s essential to explore the city and have fun before the break. From drinks in a snowglobe on a rooftop to walking around the classic Dallas Arboretum, there are so many ways to celebrate the holiday season all December. Here are four celebrations to participate in this December in Dallas.

The Dallas Arboretum 

Stroll around a winter wonderland at the Dallas Arboretum with Holiday at the Arboretum. Named “Texas’ Best Christmas Event” by Southern Living Magazine, guests are able to walk through holiday gazebos, shops, and nature. This December, the botanical garden is introducing Night Glow, a nighttime lighting display that will illuminate the park after dark. For tickets and dates, visit their website

The Nutcracker at Texas Ballet Theatre

Watch a beautiful story unfold on the stage with The Nutcracker at the Texas Ballet. Incorporate the classic story into the winter season with magic while listening to the incredible Tchaikovsky score. Texas Ballet Theatre is hosting an Ugly Sweater Contest on December 4, where the winner will win tickets to TBT’s May production of Swan Lake.

Netflix House

For a less traditional holiday celebration, Dallasites can visit Netflix House at The Galleria, where they can step into their favorite Netflix productions. Opening on December 11, Netflix House goers will be able to immerse themselves in 60-minute interactive experiences, eat from a Netflix show-inspired menu, and play in the arcade room. Step into the Squid Games arena or The Upside Down for a memorable December. For tickets and more information, visit their website

Waterproof at The Statler

Returning for another winter season at Waterproof in The Statler Hotel is the iconic Winterproof Snow Cloud experience. Rise to the 19th floor of the hotel to take in sky-high views of downtown Dallas while staying warm in their “snow clouds.” Guests and their party can enjoy holiday cocktails and great bites in the private globe.
