Experience the magic of the holiday season at Burritt on the Mountain’s annual Candlelight Christmas, taking place on Friday, December 6, and Saturday, December 7, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This cherished event offers a nostalgic journey into Christmases past, set against the backdrop of Huntsville’s historic Burritt Mansion and its scenic surroundings. Grab your tickets today – this event sells out quickly! 

 

Attendees can immerse themselves in traditional holiday activities such as stringing cranberries and popcorn, crafting paper punch ornaments, creating handmade cards, icing cookies, and sampling figgy pudding. The historic cabins will be adorned with period decorations, and the air will be filled with the melodies of traditional music, providing a festive atmosphere for all ages.

A special highlight includes a visit with Kris Kringle in Baron Bluff from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Children can hand-deliver their letters to Santa and capture memorable photos. While Clicks Foto will be available for professional photography, guests are welcome to take their own pictures. Throughout the evening, enjoy complimentary refreshments and, for those interested, hot toddies available for purchase.

Tickets are sold per carload (up to six people), with prices set at $55 for Burritt members and $70 for the general public. Given the popularity of this event, it’s advisable to secure your tickets promptly. For more details and to purchase tickets, visit Burritt on the Mountain’s official website.
