Holiday at the Arboretum
The 12 Days of Christmas: One Final Chorus
Since 2014, twelve glass-sided gazebos have welcomed thousands.
After twelve memorable years across the Arboretum’s 66 acres, the 12 Days of Christmas gazebos return for their final season. This year, the Arboretum invites you to gather beneath the lights and see them one last time.
Alongside them, the returning favorites that will light up the season for years to come: the Christmas Village and the festive halls of the historic DeGolyer House.
Three holiday traditions
The gazebos’ final season
12 Days of Christmas
Twelve glass-sided gazebos, each telling a verse of the carol, light up the garden for their final season.
Christmas Village
Step into a charming European-style Christmas village to visit Santa or mail a letter to the North Pole. Then go on a scavenger hunt and browse holiday vendors along the way.
DeGolyer House
Step inside the historic DeGolyer House, where each room is dressed for the season with its own artistic style.
Visits with Santa
Santa has settled into his favorite spot in the garden. Share a Christmas wish and take a photo to remember the occasion.
