If you’ve celebrated the holidays in Fort Worth before, you know there’s something truly special about this season. From the sparkling lights of Sundance Square to the cowboy Christmas charm in the Stockyards, the city comes alive with festive energy.
Find the Perfect Gift
Fort Worth is a shopper’s dream, offering everything from unique boutiques to historic shopping districts. Browse high-end stores at The Shops at Clearfork and University Park Village, hunt for one-of-a-kind treasures in Sundance Square, or explore the charming Stockyards shops—you’re sure to find something for everyone on your list.
Craft a Memorable Day Out
Whether it’s a day with your partner, friends, or family, Fort Worth has plenty of ways to make memories. Take in world-class art at the Kimbell Art Museum or the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, then enjoy a leisurely stroll through the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. Cap the outing with a casual meal on a sunny patio at local favorites like Woodshed Smokehouse or Gemelle.
Treat Yourself
The holidays are the perfect excuse to slow down. Book a soothing facial at Melt Spa & Massage or enjoy a full-body treatment at Mokara Spa in the Omni Fort Worth, lingering in the sauna or relaxation lounge for extra indulgence.
A Romantic Night Out
Celebrate the season with a special evening for two. Fort Worth’s dining scene has something for every taste: savor a sophisticated meal at Lonesome Dove, explore modern Texas cuisine at Ellerbe Fine Foods, or enjoy tapas and cocktails at Café Modern. Round out the night with a show at Casa Mañana or Bass Performance Hall for a truly unforgettable evening.
Simplify Holiday Hosting
Make your life a little easier during the holidays by picking up pre-made sides, desserts, and treats from Eatzi’s Market & Bakery, Central Market, or Trader Joe’s to make hosting easier.
Give Back This Season
The holidays are about spreading joy. Consider supporting local families in need—your generosity can make a meaningful difference. Organizations like the Tarrant Area Food Bank help provide food to North Texans, ensuring everyone can celebrate this season with warmth and comfort.
