Top 2022 holiday season events and experiences

Holiday events don’t have to be the same familiar players year after year. While we love a trip to the ballet to see The Nutcracker or (waiting in a two-hour line for) ice skating at Rockefeller Center, there are plenty of new and nontraditional experiences to not only get the family out of the house together, but inspire your inner experiential creator, too. We grew up going to the mall to enter a rickety version of the North Pole across from a Dillard’s and sit on a stranger’s lap. Now, kids can instead explore a winter wonderland inspired by Disney's upcoming series The Santa Clauses, a continuation of the films starring Tim Allen. Instead of waiting in a long line by the food court in itchy tights, guests can walk through Santa’s house, go to Mrs. Clause’s candy bar, and have brunch (witch cocktails for mom and dad). And that’s just one example. XP Land has curated a list of the top 2022 holiday season events and experiences to keep your calendars, stockings and bellies full. We’ve got plenty of music, food, art, sports and more on the horizon to give us that experiential fix we all crave. Keep this...
