Cullman holiday tradition

Share Club of Cullman Christmas Tour of Homes

The Share Club of Cullman’s annual Christmas Tour of Homes has been a favorite since 1986. This year’s tour is Sunday, Dec. 7, from 1-5 p.m.

Share Club Tour Chair Priscilla Henshaw said proceeds benefit various charitable organizations. This year’s beneficiaries are Curt’s Closet, First Source for Women, Good Samaritan Health Clinic, Hospice of Cullman County and Restoring Women Outreach.

“There are six stunning homes on this year’s tour,” said Henshaw. “Each home is unique and brings its own spin to Christmas decorating. The lineup of homes is amazing and everyone attending is in for a real treat! This event truly is a must for the Christmas season!”

Purchase tickets at https://tinyurl.com/scctoh2025, from any Share Club member or at Cullman Cabinet/The Added Touch, J. Drake Salon, Jack’s Western Wear, Monograms Plus or Three Pears.

Admission to the Christmas Tour of Homes is $20. More information about the homes, including addresses, will be provided upon ticket purchase.

Home of Anthony & Christi Hamby

This stunning home is a true showstopper on a 15-acre farm in the Baldwin community, just 2 miles from I-65. The custom-built beauty was completed in 2024 by Hamby & Campbell. Christi Hamby’s love for Christmas shines throughout every detail, transforming their modern home into a magical winter wonderland. The Hambys warmly invite you to experience the elegance and festive charm of their home this season!

Home of Les & Sara Barnett

The only historical home on the tour was built in 1931 by Carl and Fredonia Arnold. In November 2024, a complete renovation began. It was brought into the 21st century but kept true to its history. The renovation was completed in September 2025. Two 6-foot nutcrackers welcome guests into the home, where they’ll find a warm fire and traditional Christmas decor that preserves the home's original charm and welcoming atmosphere.

Home of Edgar & Beth Veigl

The Cullman Haus is a beautifully renovated farmhouse-style home that blends classic character with modern comfort. A wide, covered front porch and thoughtful updates highlight the home’s original charm while offering the conveniences of today. The history of the house remains unknown, but every detail that carried its story was carefully preserved and blended in the renovation. An attached private living space, Sweet Suite Cullman, is a cozy retreat and a true gem.

Home of Steve  & Courtney Speciale

This custom luxurious home in the Wyn Crest neighborhood was designed by the owners and built by JDD Construction in 2021. It’s a unique blend of modern, craftsman and traditional styles with meticulous landscaping. Traditional holiday décor and family heirlooms adorn the main living areas, and whimsical Nutcracker trees are on full display. You can’t help but feel the Christmas spirit as you pass through. The hope is all who enter the home feel comfort and joy.

Home of Caleb & Jada Mitchell

Built in 2022, this custom home in the Wyn Crest neighborhood blends timeless design with modern luxury.

Step outside to a true backyard retreat — complete with a sparkling pool, spillover hot tub, covered patio with fireplace and a personal putting green to enjoy stunning sunsets year-round.

Home of Richard & Brenda Rush

Built 2014 by Tim Butts Construction, LLC, this spacious home offers three bedrooms, an office, chef’s kitchen and a living room centered around a cozy fireplace — perfect for chilly winter evenings. The home is adorned with detailed crown molding that showcases 10-foot ceilings. The natural lighting in the home is warming and welcoming.
