For the second year, Holiday at the Arboretum will feature an outdoor Nativity, the 12 Days of Christmas Nativity and half a million new lights added this year through January 3, 2016, at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden.

Highlights include 12 elaborate, 25-foot-tall Victorian gazebos displayed in the 66- acre garden, filled with charming costumed characters, whimsical animals and winter scenes. Each gazebo is encased in glass and extravagantly decorated on all sides to provide a dramatic, three-dimensional experience that adds to its “music box” depiction of the Victorian era.

The festivities include live music, special holiday performances, appearances by North Pole residents, and holiday sweets and treats and the historic DeGolyer House is lavishly decorated with 300 crèches from around the world.
