Atlanta Christmas and holiday events 2025
Creative Loafing's guide to the festive season
Holiday Events in Atlanta!
Ho, ho, ho! It’s the happiest time of year: streets crowded with stressed out shoppers, Santa Claus posing for photos at the mall, Frank Sinatra crooning over the radio, and Macy’s running the same festive commercial five times in an hour. Stock up on gifts for your loved ones and get in the Christmas/Holiday spirit with ugly sweaters, festive cookies, light shows, and more. This is the holiday for giving, so don’t forget to give yourself a break with some spiked eggnog, peppermint bark, and gingerbread.
