With the holiday season upon us, spending time with the family by participating in local events and activities is a great way to get into the holiday spirit. Since Houston has so much to see and do during the holidays, there’s something for everyone.


We talk with Holly Clapham-Rosenow from Houston First who shares with us all the best events and activities in Houston to check out during your winter break and where to find the best Christmas light displays in your area.


For Houston Public Media’s list of the best places to see lights in Houston, click here. Another great light option is The Post Houston Winter Wonderlawn.


For those who want a change of scenery but not looking to take a trip too far from home, writer Dan Oko recommends some day trips and weekend getaways you can embark on close to Houston.


Plus, we talked with representatives from Galveston and New Orleans who share all of the holiday festivities to enjoy there.
