ChristmasCandle

It’s finally that time of year. Whether you are a pre or post-Thanksgiving holiday decorator or simply wish you were in a warmer climate during the holidays, here is how you can enjoy this season in the Kansas City Area.

DAZZLING LIGHTS AND STUNNING SIGHTS

What’s that? You’ve never been to the Plaza for the Christmas lights?! Well, don’t miss out on this iconic holiday tradition in the city. Celebrating its 92nd year, visit the Country Club Plaza to see thousands of lights on display to celebrate the holiday season.

ICE SKATING AT CROWN CENTER

The Crown Center Ice Terrace is open to all and is recognized by USA Today as one of America’s top skating rinks! Rentals are available so bring your friends, grab some hot cocoa and enjoy the ice. For a bonus experience, take pictures in front of the Mayor’s Christmas Tree at Crown Center! This 100-foot-tall tree is one of the nation’s largest and is a centerpiece for an illuminating holiday celebration. Pose for your next holiday card!

UNION STATION – holiday reflections and walk-thru holiday village

Be surrounded by the holiday spirit at Union Station! Participate in this walk-thru holiday village that shows spectacular themed experiences and sky-reaching lights, trees, and more! Bring friends and family for your next holiday selfie and enjoy being amongst the Kansas City community.

POWELL GARDENS – Festival of Lights!

Stop on by the KC botanical gardens through the month of December and enjoy the fresh holiday air! Stroll through a lighted outdoor path featuring immersive, botanically-inspired installations that celebrate the natural joy of the most festive season.
