Traditions bring up fond memories of time spent with family and friends. They remind us that we need to a break from our hectic schedules, get together and really enjoy those little things in life such as eating roasted turkey (or maybe tofurky!) and dressing; baking pumpkin pie; reading The Night Before Christmas; giving and receiving presents; baking cookies just for Santa and the elves; decorating the tree with that ornament made in first grade; or dusting off the box that holds the magical Christmas village.
This year, create some new family traditions by exploring some of Chattanooga’s top holiday experiences – together. Make planning easier by booking special holiday packages that include overnight accommodations, tickets to holiday attractions, restaurant vouchers, and even elf tuck-in service!
Top Chattanooga Holiday Experiences
Go ice skating on an outdoor rink; explore a nocturnal fantasyland with more than one million star-bright twinkling lights high atop Lookout Mountain; walk through a secret underground ice cave that leads straight to Santa; hop on board a train for a North Pole adventure; sing Christmas carols and dance with Santa on a river cruise; meet coral reef Santa divers; build creative gingerbread houses; and watch animals open their own Christmas presents.
