Old Town Spring: Hometown Holidays

About this adventure

Nestled just north of Houston, the historic 19th-century railroad village of Old Town Spring transforms into a vintage holiday postcard for its annual Hometown Holidays celebration (formerly Home for the Holidays). More than 100 charming Victorian cottages, historic schoolhouses, and artisan shops are draped in twinkling fairy lights, evergreen wreaths, and festive red ribbons. Carolers dressed in Dickensian finery stroll the cedar-lined pathways as the scent of roasted pecans and fresh cider fills the air. Every Saturday between mid-November and Christmas Eve features a special 'Signature Saturday' theme, including the Grand Tree Lighting, Charity Giveback Weekend, Christmas Movie Night, and a high-tech Christmas Drone Show. With horse-drawn carriage rides rolling through town, artisan toy and quilt shops, and visits with Santa Claus, Old Town Spring offers an authentic small-town holiday refuge from the big city bustle.
