Jingle, jingle, jingle, let the holidays begin. It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Family and friends gather ‘round and celebrations fill our days and nights. There are so many fun things to see and do during this festive time of the year.

A great idea is to make a list of holiday happenings so you don’t miss out on anything. FOMO (fear of missing out) is a real thing and no fun when so many merry outings can have your calendar booked.

Here is a great list of things to do in the Dunwoody area where several hotels have the holidays on blast. Everything from Sips with Santa to Frozen treats to Santa Paws. It’s your Dunwoody Holiday Haven. There is something for everyone starting in November and going through December. This is the first time Discover Dunwoody tourism board, has partnered with several of the Dunwoody Hotels to bring these special and unique ways to get into the holiday spirit. “There’s so much preparation to be done for the holidays, that it can be hard to find time and ways to create magic and memories along the way,” said Katie Williams, Executive Director of Discover Dunwoody. “We created Your Holiday Haven so that parents can prepare for the season and enjoy it with their families. With Perimeter Mall right here and literally dozens of events happening, Dunwoody is the perfect place to discover holiday magic this season.”

Your Holiday Haven will begin with Light Up Dunwoody on Sunday, November 24 from 3 – 5:45 p.m. This family-friendly event at the picturesque Cheek-Spruill House in the heart of Dunwoody ushers in the holiday season with reindeer, Santa, performances, carolers, cookie decorating, and the lighting of the Christmas tree and Menorah at sundown.

Make plans to celebrate the holidays all month. November and December will be filled with festive energy all month long. 

Take a look and start making your merriment list, and checking it twice.
