Nestled in the shadow of modern skyscrapers, nine historic decorated homes spanning from 1823 to 1905—including the Kellum-Noble House, the 1868 Pillot House, and the 1891 St. John Church—open their doors for candlelit tours decorated with authentic historic greenery, handmade paper ornaments, and Victorian trimmings. Costumed historical docents share frontier Christmas tales, while local choral ensembles and carolers perform classic holiday hymns across the village green. The concurrent Houston Heritage Holiday Market features local artisan craftsmen, holiday treats, warm spiced cider, and visits with Santa Claus, making this an educational and heartwarming seasonal tradition. ## Similar picks in Houston - [Breakfast with Santa at Land of Sweets — City Lights Houston](https://grassyknees.com/houston/activities/breakfast-with-santa-at-land-of-sweets-city-lights-houston--listing-d4c1248352fc2754e7690f9b) — Dec 19 – Dec 20 · Hilton Americas-Houston · Paid · checked Nov 9.
