It\u2019s the most wonderful time of the year! It is time to enjoy your friends and family amongst the beautiful Christmas spirit atmosphere. There are many opportunities in and around the Ark-La-Tex to enjoy the Christmas season.<\/p>\n

December 7 on Main Street in Downtown Texarkana starting at 4 there will be music, food, and shopping. There will also be an opportunity to see and pet camels and the Express Clydesdales. Starting at 7, the 31st<\/sup> Annual Christmas parade \u201cA Magical Christmas\u201d will kick off. Before the parade, there will also be the \u201cFestival of Trees Competition\u201d on Front Street, and the winner will be announced before the parade begins. As well as Christmas lights filling the streets of downtown there will also be horse drawn carriage rides throughout December.<\/p>\n

Starting November 25 through December 31st<\/sup>, Tuesday through Sundays, Marshall, Texas, will host the \u201cWonderland of Lights\u201d. They will offer beautiful lights, outdoor ice-skating, a carousel, Santa\u2019s Workshop and Mrs. Claus\u2019 Kitchen, carriage rides, and train rides. On December 5, there will be a Jingle Bell run. The \u201cWonderland of Lights\u201d will not be open on Mondays or Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n

For more opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Christmas lights you can visit Hot Springs, Arkansas. Hot Springs will hold a Christmas parade on December 7 starting at 6:30. You can also stopover at Garvan Woodland Gardens for the Holiday Lights exhibit. Enjoy over 4 million bulbs across the 17 acre garden.<\/p>\n

The Shreveport-Bossier area will offer a firework show with included activities on December 5. There will be a beautiful 40 foot tall Christmas tree at the Boardwalk offered all of December. If you still would like to appreciate\u00a0some Christmas lights view the \u201cHoliday Trail of Lights\u201d November 14 through December 24.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Ashdown, Arkansas, will be offering their Christmas Parade, \u201cA Christmas Story,\u201d December 5 starting at 6. The Kansas City Southern Holiday Express is making its way to Ashdown on December 4 and will arrive at 4.<\/p>\n

These are a few ideas of what is going on in the Ark-La-Tex this holiday season. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n
