Winter Wonderland at Tilles Park
Get into the mood for Christmas in St. Louis with a winter wonderland hitting Tilles Park. The place initially burst into colors in November, but there is still time to check it out at its peak display.
You get to take a stroll or a ride through the park and enjoy its colorful appearance with eatables and drinks to keep you warm. If you’re lucky, you may even get a glimpse of good old Mr. Claus, as well.
You don’t need to leave your furry friend at home, either. It’s a dog-friendly activity, as long as Lassie is on a lash.
There is a small ticket cost for the day.
When: Every evening from 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm until January 2nd, 2020
Where: Tilles Park, 9551 Litzsinger Rd, St. Louis, MO 63124

Home Alone in Concert – St. Louis Symphony
Kevin is still Home Alone, but his experience is a bit more melodic. The classic hits the theater stage instead of the cinema, as the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra is behind the drama. As the movie plays, the music does as well.
Home Alone plays twice on successive days near the weekend before Christmas day. The first performance of the two has a slightly lower ticket cost. So, make sure you grab the chance at its cheapest. But, regardless, it’s a great opportunity at any price.
When: December 20th and 21st.
Where: Powell Symphony Hall, 718 N Grand Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63106

Anheuser-Busch Holiday Lights – Brewery Lights
It’s a place with a little something for everyone, as Anheuser-Busch brewery is back with a bang to light up your Christmas in St Louis. Although the holiday fun started earlier in November, there is still a good portion of it left for latecomers.
You can enjoy a glide on the ice on the Bud Light Skating Rink. Or you can sit down and warm up to Frosty’s Winter Wonderland. The place offers a tour of the lights on certain days in the final-third of December. There is a kids’ zone as well, with activities for the young ones.
Last but not least, though, you can’t come to a brewery and go without a drink, and plenty of options are on the table.
Brewery Lights is the perfect place to spend a day with your family and make some Christmas memories.

The Elf on the Shelf – A Christmas Musical
The spirit of Christmas lives on through The Elf on the Shelf at the Stifel Theater.
Before the show starts, you get a chance for a photo with the scout elf in a wintry atmosphere. The event itself is an emotional rollercoaster featuring the famous (or infamous?) elf and his experience of Christmas.
It reminds us all of what Christmas celebrations are about, and what better way to learn the lesson than in the form of a musical! It is an opportunity to have some family fun at a moderate price.

A Computerized Light Show
As Christmas gets closer, tree lightings are fewer and farther between, as most take place right after Thanksgiving. If you missed out then, you’re still in luck, as you can attend the computerized light show at First Baptist Church of Oakville.
The event makes for an exciting experience with a combination of lights matching the rise and fall of the music. As a bonus, it’s a free event. Hot drinks and cookies will add to the Christmas cheer!
When: 7 pm to 8:30 pm on December 20th and 21st.

Saint Louis Zoo offers something different around Christmas time compared to the rest of the year. It brings you one of the best displays of lights you will find anywhere in the city!

When: 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm from December 19th-23rd, and then December 26th-30th.
