Top 7 Things to do in Atlanta for Christmas

Christmas is by far my favorite time of the year. I love the temperature drops, the beautiful lights, and the spirit of giving. I’ve compiled a list of the top 7 things to do in Atlanta this Christmas season.

1. Atlanta Botanical Garden Lights

   About $25

   This is a highly popular attraction because of its beautiful views and the amazing experience.
   

2. Stone Mountain Christmas

   $30-$60

   At Stone Mountain Christmas, enjoy an amazing light show, musical performances, wonderful shows, and a visit from Mr. Claus himself!

3. Berry’s Tree Farm, LLC

   $42-$63

   This tree farm offers a huge range of gorgeous trees to choose from all at an affordable price. They also have a petting zoo, a chance to meet Santa, and fresh wreaths.

4. Skate the Sky: Ponce City Markets

   Adult tickets are $30

   Ponce City Market’s The Roof transforms into a winter wonderland for Christmas. Here you can enjoy about an hour of skating, games, and amazing views! They also even have igloos available for reservations.

5. Atlanta Ballet: The Nutcracker 

   $25 for 3-day access 

   This year, the Atlanta Ballet is going on-demand but that doesn’t mean you can’t make an experience out of it. Watching The Nutcracker is a Christmas tradition for me. You can still make it a great night by warming up some hot chocolate, cozy up with your favorite blankets, and turn on your Christmas tree lights for a great night in.

6. A Christmas Carol: The Live Radio Play

   $45-$90/car 

   Now as a drive-in, The Alliance Theatre is producing this holiday classic for the month of December.

7. Visit a Small Georgia Town: Helen,Georgia 

   $$

   This beautiful city of Northeast Georgia holds their annual Christkindlmarkt which is a traditional German event that offers sweet treats and foods, music, and more!
