There's just so much holiday charm at the Adoluphus at every turn, isn't there? Their ever-so extravagant Christmas tree is even more impressive in person! It’s the perfect spot for a LIT gram worthy photo after you enjoy Holiday Tea or drinks at the Cocoa Lounge!

9. hall arts hotel
We absolutely love the flocked-in-white look that Hall Arts is giving this year. It's a winter wonderland inside even when it's frustratingly warm outside! Pose for the perfect holiday shot with your crew before you head to Ellie's for a bite, or with your festive cocktail in hand from the bar!
10. at&T discovery district
The tree at AT&T Discovery District is a sight to behold, and it will be officially lit for the 2022 holiday season on Saturday, Dec. 3.

Then, throughout the season, be sure to get your pics with the huge, decked out tree on your way to the Bad Santa holiday pop-up bar for festive drinks and live entertainment.
11. The Mayor's Tree at Klyde Warren Park
They're calling the 48-foot tree at Klyde Warren Park “The Mayor's Tree” this year, as The City of Dallas wants to make Klyde Warren the city's official Christmas park.

It will be positioned on the south end of Hart Boulevard, the Park's main pedestrian thoroughfare, through January 9, 2023. The tree lighting ceremony takes place on Saturday, Dec. 3 from 3-6 p.m. and is free to attend!
