The Grand Ol’ Christmas Show

November 13, 2025

Will Hearn’s The Grand Ol’ Christmas Show is a live, one-of-a-kind musical variety show. The production is set as a retro radio show, “broadcasting” Christmas classics and original sketch comedy antics live on Christmas Eve from the 1225 AM N-O-E-L Radio Studios. The cast features the best artists and entertainers in Texas, including Americana standout band Blue Water Highway, Dalton Flake, The Dirty River Jazz Band, and the NOEL Radio Orchestra and Gospel Singers! This raucous, rollicking, retro radio show features your all-time favorite Christmas classics like you’ve never heard them before and sketch comedy shenanigans that progressively and cleverly blur the lines between nostalgia and satire. Made for music and comedy lovers alike from Boomer to Millenial, the Grand Ol’ Christmas Show is an inspiring holiday tradition that gets better every year!

Lauritzen Gardens Bright Nights

November 12, 2025

Set a merry mood with friends and family and explore the illuminated floral display hall, the two houses of the Marjorie K. Daugherty Conservatory, and Sofia’s Play Garden during Bright Nights. From a 20-foot-tall poinsettia tree to a glowing forest of trees, guests will discover dazzling installations that showcase nature in a whole new light.  

This year’s show invites guests into a Nordic winter wonderland, where a forest of wooden trees crafted from reclaimed pallets rises amid twinkling lights and whispering evergreens. Wander through Sofia’s Play Garden, aglow for the first time with enchanting lights and playful installations—and keep an eye out for a couple of cheerful trolls joining in the holiday fun. It’s a celebration of nature, imagination, and the magic of the season—where rustic charm meets winter whimsy.  

The Family Chill Zone features fun patio games and cozy fire pits, where guests can warm up or purchase a S’mores kit to roast marshmallows.  

With 31 nights to see the garden glow, 10 family fun nights, 22 visits from Santa, and 5 appearances by a certain mean, green, grouchy holiday character, Bright Nights promises festive fun for everyone!
