The holiday season in Celina is something truly special, and nothing captures that small-town charm quite like Christmas on the Square. Just a short drive from The Parks at Wilson Creek, this annual celebration transforms Downtown Celina into a festive wonderland filled with lights, laughter, and holiday cheer. For families looking to create lasting memories close to home, this is one event you don’t want to miss.
What to Expect at Christmas on the Square
Held on December 3rd from 5-9 pm, Christmas on the Square is packed with activities and attractions for all ages. The event features a classic tree lighting ceremony that brings the community together for an unforgettable moment as the downtown tree comes to life with twinkling lights.
Children will love the chance to snap a photo with Santa Claus, explore real snow zones, and enjoy live performances that include holiday music and local talent. The streets are lined with food trucks offering warm treats and festive snacks, and there’s no shortage of local shopping booths where you can pick up handmade gifts, décor, and seasonal goodies.
This free event is open to the public and brings together the entire Celina community for a night of joy, celebration, and connection.
Tips for a Fun Night Out
To make the most of your visit to Christmas on the Square, consider arriving early. Parking around the Square can fill up quickly, so giving yourself a little extra time means less stress and a better view for the tree lighting.
Dress in layers or bring a cozy coat, as December evenings can get chilly, especially if your little ones are playing in the snow areas. A foldable chair or picnic blanket is a great way to enjoy the live performances comfortably while sipping hot cocoa and people-watching.
Want to make it even more fun? Invite your neighbors from The Parks at Wilson Creek and head out as a group. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy the festivities together and build stronger bonds within the community.
