It’s Christmas time in Waco!

I’m not going to lie: I’m in the “don’t put your Christmas tree up until after Thanksgiving” boat, for sure.

But starting this week in Waco, Christmas events begin, so buckle up and get in the holiday mood, mama!

*Please let us know of any events we missed in our guide. Our team worked hard on this guide, but we are human!

Thank you to our community sponsor, Catia Sykora with Camille Johnson, Realtors for making this resource possible.
