It may be approaching 100 degrees outside, but the North Pole spirit is alive and well in Grapevine - at least for one more weekend.
Harvest Hall’s beloved Christmas in July celebration is coming to a close, but there’s still time to bask in the festive glow. Nestled inside Hotel Vin, Grapevine’s premier luxury boutique hotel, this whimsical month-long event has transformed the downtown food hall into a holiday escape, complete with twinkling lights, oversized ornaments, themed cocktails and a full slate of entertainment. It’s a refreshing way to cool off and indulge in a little mid-year magic, right in the heart of the Christmas Capital of Texas.
At the center of the action is the Holly Jolly Bar, a holiday pop-up in the hotel’s lively Third Rail music venue. Guests can sip cheeky cocktails like the Sandy Claus Cosmo and Baked on the Beach while enjoying live music, themed trivia, comedy and even live band karaoke. It’s all the charm of December, minus the snow boots.
This year’s celebration also introduced the Grey Goose Espresso Martini Bar, where expert mixologists are shaking up chilled, coffee-spiked creations with a festive flair. Guests can sample the contenders in the ongoing Espresso Martini Showdown, with the final pour-off and crowning of the cocktail champion taking place on July 31.
For those looking to eat their way through the festivities, the Holly Jolly Holiday Passport invites guests to collect stamps from each of Harvest Hall’s eight chef-driven kitchens. Complete the passport and you’ll earn a free drink - and a shot at winning a stay at Hotel Vin.
With just a few days left to sip, savor, and sleigh the summer in style, now’s the time to experience Christmas in July before it melts away.
