The 2025 Colonial Williamsburg Holiday Planner Is Here—And It’s Full of Magic

If you’ve ever thought Williamsburg looked like it belonged in a snow globe, wait until you see it during the holidays. Colonial Williamsburg just released its 2025 Holiday Planner, and it’s your go-to guide for all things festive this season.

Whether you're a local, a visitor, or new to town thanks to a military relocation, this planner is packed with events, traditions, and reasons to fall in love with Williamsburg all over again.

Expect a full lineup of holiday happenings: wreath-making workshops, seasonal concerts, candlelit tours, and historic reenactments that turn a regular December weekend into something magical. And yes, the famous cressets will be glowing morning to night—lighting up the streets with that warm, flickering charm we all love.

The Historic Area transforms into a scene straight out of a Hallmark movie. Handcrafted garlands, pineapple-topped wreaths, and twinkling windows give the colonial homes that extra dose of holiday spirit. Carolers, live music, and festive storytelling add layers of tradition that make this season feel both timeless and special.

Let’s not forget the food. From elegant brunches at the Williamsburg Inn to cozy dinners in colonial taverns, dining in Colonial Williamsburg during the holidays feels like a gift in itself. If you’ve never tried their seasonal menus, now’s the time.

And the best part? You don’t need a vacation to enjoy any of it. If you live in Williamsburg, Toano, Yorktown, Newport News, or anywhere nearby, this holiday magic is just around the corner. The planner makes it super easy to map out your weekends and make the most of the season.

For military families stationed at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, or Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown, these kinds of traditions are a beautiful way to make Virginia feel like home for the holidays.

And from a real estate lens? This is one of the reasons Williamsburg stands out. The sense of community, the celebration of history, and the endless charm make it a place people want to call home.

So, grab your coat, your calendar, and maybe a cup of cider. The 2025 Colonial Williamsburg Holiday Planner is your ticket to a season full of memories.
