The Dallas Arboretum's 12 Days of Christmas gazebos are taking their final bow this holiday season.

The garden says the 2026 Holiday at the Arboretum, which runs Nov. 11 through Jan. 3, is the last season for the display. Since 2014, twelve glass-sided gazebos have been set up across the Arboretum's 66 acres, and the garden says they have drawn hundreds of thousands of Dallas families.

Its holiday page bills this year as "One Final Chorus" and points readers to the fall issue of its Bloom magazine for the history of the exhibit.

The season also includes the Christmas Village and holiday decorations inside the historic DeGolyer House.

Tickets and hours

The Arboretum lists several ticket types, with prices that vary by date:

  • Daytime, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.: $21.95 to $25.95 for adults and $17.95 to $21.95 for children 3 to 12. Members get in free.
  • Holiday at Night, 5 to 10 p.m.: $35 to $40, or $20 to $25 for members. Buying in advance online saves money; walk-up prices are $4 higher.
  • Night Owl, 8:30 to 10 p.m.: $15.
  • Holiday Cheer, 5 to 10 p.m. on Nov. 26, Dec. 24, Dec. 25, Dec. 31 and Jan. 1: $12.

Children under 3 are free at every time slot.

Santa visits are scheduled at the Christmas Village from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, and from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, according to the Arboretum's event listings.

The garden has not said on its holiday page what will take the gazebos' place in future seasons.
