Christmas Day Trips from Dallas

Check out these trips before Santa's visit!

If you find a spare weekend during this busy holiday season, or you need a great photo spot, check out these Christmas Day Trips from Dallas:

Yesterland Farm–Canton. Only about an hour outside of Dallas, this farm has Christmas trees to cut or already cut for sale as well as a complimentary hayride, the farm zoo, a giant tipi, horse shoes a western ghost town. You can bring a picnic or enjoy fun farm fare concessions. Admission is free as part of their Texas Christmas. They also have a small amusement park with a roller coaster, a giant slide and pony rides for additional cost. They also have photos with Santa on the weekends!

Time to look for photo opportunities!

Drive Thru Christmas–Lindale, just north of Tyler. 2 & 1/2 million lights on 24 acres that you can drive through.  $20 per car. There is also a gift shop and concession stand. Check out their website for a list and pictures of the great variety of light displays!

Holiday Express Riding Train–Richardson. Free train ride for kids around a yard decorated with holiday lights. Sweet story about a man who does this for children free of charge, although he has had to start accepting donations to make it possible. 136 Hidden Circle, Richardson, TX 75081.

Meet and Greet Santa Claus this Weekend! (and other Holiday Happenings!)
