The festivities begin on November 10 with the setting up of the tallest indoor Christmas tree in America, adorned with cutting-edge Twinkly LED lighting that choreographs stunning, immersive light shows. Featuring 850 branches, each comparable to a small Christmas tree in size, over 15,000 ornaments, and 215,000 points of light topped with a massive 100-pound, 10-foot LED star, the tree will be fully assembled by the evening of November 13.
The holiday spirit continues with a variety of live shows and events running from November 22 to January 6.
Santa's grand entrance is scheduled for November 22 at Santaland, positioned on Level I near Banana Republic. This year, Santaland will feature a technologically enhanced experience where families embark on a magical train journey from Dallas to the North Pole. With innovative wish list technology, Santa will know exactly what gifts each child dreams of. Special sessions will be available for pet owners, families with special needs children, and a Spanish-speaking Santa, with reservations recommended through SnowDayDallas.com.
On December 8, a special ticketed ice show will support the local charity Broadway Dallas, featuring 2022 Olympian Mariah Bell, with family pod tickets available in November.
Galleria Dallas will also observe Hanukkah on December 29 with a Menorah Lighting Ceremony led by Rabbi Andrew Paley and musical performances by Kol Shalom, with Sufganiyots for attendees.
Throughout the season, the Galleria dazzles from floor to ceiling with festive decorations, enhanced by the adjacent Westin Galleria Dallas hotel, providing guests with direct access to over 200 stores and dining options.
Local ensembles will perform seasonal music during weekdays at the center, with a full schedule available online. Other holiday initiatives include The Salvation Army Angel Tree starting November 1, and pet adoptions with Operation Kindness from November 29 to December 24.
