Visit the Go Guide App on your phone for the map! Their complete article will be shared on 12/19. Surely many of these same locations will be making their electric meter spin again this year! 

We've been blessed in the Lehigh Valley with lots of great performance companies and theaters that present seasonal performances.  Catch A Christmas Carol or a Nutcracker performance!


The Wildlands Conservancy is offering a number of great family programs this month! Check out their natural ornament making event, winter bird watching walk and more! 


It is a Lehigh Valley tradition not to be missed! With 3 shows Monday - Saturday through January 2nd! Theres plenty of opportunity to catch the little guy!

Take a train ride this season with santa himself. multiple rail lines are available within the region!

Plan a mini get away at one of the Pocono area indoor water parks and take a break from the chill!

The mountains are making snow, learn how to ski or teach the kids! Tubing is always a great adventure with no skills required.

Take a Carriage Ride!
A nice throw back to the olden' days! Bundle up and tour the city lights in an open air carriage!

Roll out the station wagon Clark! Roll Griswold style this year and head out to a farm to chop down the family Christmas tree.  


As much as we adore every other suggestion on this list sometimes the BEST thing to do around the holidays is enjoy your kids! Appreciate their wonder for the season and do something special at home! Bake your family cookie recipe, let them help wrap (yes, it will look terrible but thats ok!) or take a look at our Holiday Road Pinterest board and find a new tradition!
