Celebrate the Holidays with Us
‘Tis the season for pumpkins, turkey, friends and family — and where better to enjoy all of those things than Viridian!
Viridian is more than a place to hang your stocking, it’s a community, brimming with holiday spirit, where friends and loved ones can celebrate the most wonderful times of the year together. Residents enjoy numerous fun-filled, festive activities designed by our dedicated lifestyle director, while guests are given a warm welcome during our popular public events. Spectacular seasonal celebrations are just 20 minutes away in Dallas and Fort Worth.
See how our seasonal events can round out your holiday calendar:
Residents Only
Break Out the Pumpkin Spice
Pumpkin spice and everything nice reminds us that October ushers in both the harvest and the holiday season. Residents can get to know their neighbors while enjoying finger lickin’ barbecue and a live performance by Shotgun Rider at the Viridian Harvest Hoedown. Playful pups can suit up for Barktoberfest, our costumed-canine event. Round out the month with a Monster Mash for guys and ghouls of all ages featuring a costume contest, sweet treats and “spooktacular” tunes.
Gobble Up Goodies
Residents can gobble up gifts and goodies in November at two fun events. Get something for everyone on your holiday shopping list at our first-ever Holiday Market. At our Farm to Table Feast, neighbors can gather at one long community table by the lake while enjoying a gourmet meal and live music performance by Jessica Brooks and Travis Franklin.
Pass the Cookies and Hot Cocoa
A sleigh-ful of activities makes its way into Viridian in December, bringing holiday fun to everyone. Residents can bring their furry Fidos out for pictures with the Big Guy during Paws with Claus. Then get ready to light up the holidays with appetizers and cocktails during our always festive Mistletoe Mingle. Kids can enjoy cookies and whisper their holiday wishes into Santa’s ear during Cookies & Cocoa with Santa followed by holiday tales and festive crafts during Christmas Story & Craft Time. Finally, the whole community will ring in the New Year at our glittering NYE at the V celebration!
For Our Holiday Guests
Enjoy a Fall Fling
Fling yourself into a fall filled with live music provided by Chris Acosta and Josh Irwin, a petting zoo, a pumpkin patch and everything else the season offers during Fall Fest from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 21, at the Viridian Lake Club, 1200 Viridian Park Lane. Take a turn through the Viridian Artisan Market to find one-of-a-kind holiday gifts then spread your picnic blanket and enjoy the rest of the fun-filled day.
Sail into Our Turkey Regatta
If you haven’t had a chance to see our gorgeous new Viridian Sailing Center, November is a great time to sail by for a peek. Our one-day Turkey Regatta will be held Nov. 18. Stop by the Sailing Center, 1200 Viridian Park Lane, to pick up an annual pass entitling you to fun-filled days on Lake Viridian.
Brrrrrring on the Snow
It’s not winter without snow, so we are brrrringing it to the Viridian Lake Club on Dec. 2. Our popular Winter Chill festival offers a full day of fun with sledding, train rides, holiday snacks and more. So, put on your mittens and prepare for the best snow day of the year!
A Sleigh Ride Away
Thrills and Chills
October thrills and chills are just five miles away from Viridian at Six Flags Over Texas. The annual Fright Fest offers a wide variety of places to get your scare on including several haunted houses and scare zones located throughout the park.
Get Your Game On
Cheering on the Cowboys is as much a Thanksgiving tradition as pumpkin pie and since we are barely 4 miles away from AT&T Stadium, why not try to cheer from the sidelines instead of the couch?
Decked Out Dallas
Downtown Dallas really knows how to deck the halls and Downtown Dallas Wanderland is a Texas-sized winter street fair that checks off every box on your holiday to-do list.
Take the Family to Market
Enter the enchanting world of the Texas Christkindl Market where you can get everything on your holiday shopping list while enjoying a traditional German-style holiday market at Globe Life Park from Nov. 24 to Dec. 31.
