The Capitol Christmas tree
Now that the election is over, we can redirect our focus — to the holidays! It might seem early, but the folks behind some of the area’s best seasonal celebrations don’t think so, with many of them commencing in the next couple of weeks, and the rest starting shortly after. But no matter when you’re ready to embrace the holiday spirit, you’re in the right place. There are options galore in DC to celebrate the season, many of them annual events that are family traditions for Washingtonians. Local stages come alive with holiday shows. Model trains wind through miniature Christmas villages. Light displays dazzle visitors as they walk or drive among them. And all kinds of events and extravaganzas, several at iconic locales, present holiday cheer and activities that thrill kids (and the kid in all of us grown-ups). Here’s where you can find it all:

Where:U.S. Botanic Garden
When: November 22 – January 1

If my blog stats are any indication, this might be DC’s most popular holiday attraction; the Botanic Garden’s seasonal exhibit was among the most searched for topics last year. And I can’t say I’m surprised. Season’s Greenings is an annual delight for all ages. The conservatory exhibit features Washington landmarks constructed from plant materials and one of the city’s largest Christmas trees. But the highlight, hands-down, is the garden railway, which never fails to impress and enchant with intricate, imaginative designs. This year, trains will zip through an imaginative Enchanted Forest, with fanciful fairy dwellings along the rail line, all created with plant materials. For even more holiday magic at the garden, there are concerts most Tuesday and Thursday evenings in December, when the USBG stays open until 8pm. For more on the seasonal favorite, read this KFDC review from a Season’s Greenings past.
