The Dallas Arboretum's holiday season on White Rock Lake: the Christmas Village by day and lit gardens at night. Final year of the 12 Days of Christmas gazebos.
The Dallas Arboretum, on the east shore of White Rock Lake, decorates its gardens from mid-November into January. In the day you can walk the Christmas Village and see the historic DeGolyer House decorated for the holidays. In the evening, "Holiday at Night" lights up the gardens with seasonal music.
2026 is the last season for the 12 Days of Christmas, the set of Victorian gazebos that has been the Arboretum's holiday signature for years, so expect it to be busier than usual.
Night tickets are the most expensive ($35–$40), but there are cheaper ways in. Night Owl tickets for the last stretch from 8:30 pm cost $15, and Holiday Cheer nights cost $12: Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Walk-up tickets cost $4 more than buying online.
