Today, is December 1st, and the beginning of the season of holiday lights, family traditions, celebrations, yummy food, and many toasts in honor of friends, family, and loved ones. Asheville has much to offer during this merrymaking month. Take a peek at our top 8 holiday things to do.
1- Christmas at Biltmore - The nostalgic decor and Christmas tree are a special sight, and will inspire fond memories of when you felt that special feeling of Christmas.
2- Polar Express Train - Sip hot cocoa and watch the kids’ faces light up with the magic of the North Pole and Santa Claus. It’s a short drive to get to the Smoky Mountains Railroad, yet worth the memory in the making.
3- Beech Mountain Ski Resort - 15 slopes and 95 acres of skiable terrain make this a perfect day or weekend getaway to enjoy snow covered ground and racing family and friends down the mountain – the perfect December experience.
4- Visit Biltmore Village - The lighted Christmas tree and shops are filled with the spirit of Christmas. It’s quaint and charming. Visit the Christmas store, taste a cookie from Well-Bred, or enjoy some traditional Mexican food at The Cantina.
5- The Omni Grove Park Inn - Pure magic. The live fire in the extra-large fireplace, photos next to Santa’s sleigh on the porch overlooking the endless mountain peaks, and holiday drinks to delight. Consider viewing the annual Gingerbread house competition entries, or visit to relax and enjoy the holiday decor.
6- Winter Lights at the NC Arboretum - Take a stroll through the NC Arboretum to view lights which complement the plants and trees.
7- Rappelling Santa at Chimney Rock - Each Saturday in December, Santa can be seen practicing for his Christmas Eve rappel down this 535-million-year-old rock! We hear he does this to make up for all the milk and cookies he eats on Christmas Day!
8- ZipLine - Take the family out for a zipline adventure at the Crowne Plaza® Resort Asheville. The kid-friendly zip-line is perfect for kids and adults, and is located a mile from downtown Asheville. We dare you to wear a Santa hat or reindeer antlers and take a selfie!
From all of us at Mosaic Community Lifestyle Realty, we wish you and yours a happy Holiday season!
