    Dreaming of a white Christmas, but can’t make it to an actual winter wonderland? Find an equally festive paradise — no puffer coat needed — at Margaritaville Lake Resort, Lake Conroe.

    Located just an hour north of Houston, the resort has all the makings of a merry, merry holiday this year with festive specials and events happening throughout the season.

    Check out these ideas for how you can find your cheer at this lakeside locale.

    The Thanksgiving Day Brunch on Thursday, November 28, from 10 am-3 pm is a full-on feast, featuring a traditional roast turkey dinner with all the trimmings and can’t-miss sides like roasted garlic mashed potatoes, sweet potato gratin, caramelized shallot butter Texas cornbread and chorizo stuffing, and so much more.

    Also on the menu are honey-glazed ham, seafood, classic brunch fare (think pumpkin-spiced waffles with cinnamon whipped cream), and desserts (don’t miss the bourbon pecan pie) along with wine, Bloody Marys, and mimosas. Plus, you can savor it all with equally delicious views of Lake Conroe.

    Adults can dine for $59.95, children (6-12 years) for $29.95, and kids 5 and under eat free. Members receive 20 percent off. Reservations are strongly recommended and can be made by calling 877-286-9590 or booking online here.

    Nostalgia is a band member on the new Ben Folds Five tour.

    Alternative rock band Ben Folds Five is returning to the stage for the first time in 15 years in 2027, including a stop at the 713 Music Hall in Houston on Wednesday, April 21.
