If you love Christmas in North Texas, you’ll want to start planning early.

Grapevine is getting ready to celebrate another holiday season as the Christmas Capital of Texas, and the first big dates for 2026 are already on the calendar.

For DFW homeowners and families looking for things to do around the Dallas–Fort Worth area, Grapevine offers plenty of holiday traditions and seasonal events.
