Holiday haps
No use trying to be a grinch. Kids love the holidays, so we might as well give in to all the joyful holiday happenings!
- Ho-ho-holiday fun: There is so much free fun around, it’ll send your holiday spirit into overdrive!
- Seattle Christmas Market: This attraction is new to the Seattle holiday scene; read our review to see if it will suit your crew.
- Trip the lights fantastic: Revel in thousands and thousands of lights illuminating our dark December skies. Tip: Many holiday light shows continue into January!
- Hanukkah in the community: Hurry, Hanukkah fests wrap up by Dec. 17. Until then, kids can get their hands on Hanukkah fun at craft-and-learning sessions around town. Plus, community menorah lightings spread joy for the Jewish festival of lights, and (this is important) you’ll want to note a short-term specialty treat opportunity!
- Santa tracker: Need a last-minute word (or photo) with the big guy? Check our guide for where to meet Santa right up ’til Christmas Eve.
