This season is packed full of holiday events in the Austin area, and it can be pretty overwhelming trying to decide which ones to go or not go to. The Little Roseberry team decided to make it easier on you and pick the events that sounded like the best of the best this December. Enjoy, friends!
For the first year ever, Christmas is taking over Circuit of the Americas.

Open to the public 12/8 - 12/30, Sunday - Thursday from 6-10 pm and Friday and Saturday 6-11 pm.

Slightly outside of Austin is the Elgin Christmas Tree farm. Ride a tractor to pick out your perfect Christmas tree, cut it down with your borrowed ax and take it home as a new part of the family (for a month or so, anyway)! Visit with farm animals and pick out your perfect ornament at their adorable gift shop while you're there too! Hours are 10-5:30 until December 18th!

Honorable Mention goes to the
