A winter wonderland returns to Bayou Bend with Christmas Village at Bayou Bend. Ima Hogg’s historic mansion is transformed into an immersive holiday-themed theater experience with live actors, theatrical effects, and Christmas decorations.

Visitors can enjoy photo opportunities with Santa every night until December 23. The Christmas Village also includes carolers singing nightly, a hand-crafted model train, animated projections, and festive activities, including a cotton snowball toss, reindeer games, and sledding on a faux-snow slope.

Guests can add on a tour of the historic house for $5 extra.
