on addition to opening gifts and indulging on sweet potato pie, Christmas Day in Houston is a wonderful opportunity to tour the city and establish new customs. Houston has everything you need, whether you’re trying to keep the kids from running around the home, entertain visiting family, or simply enjoy some fresh air. Here is your guide to things to do in H-Town on December 25th, including nature hikes and Christmas lights.
Wander about Discovery Green.
Visit Discovery Green if you need some fresh air after spending the morning knee-deep in wrapping paper. Despite being open all year, the park provides a tranquil haven in the middle of the city on Christmas Day. Enjoy the peace and quiet of Houston’s urban green space or take a family selfie by the lake. It should be pleasant because temperatures in the 60s are predicted.
Pro tip: On Christmas Day, Discovery Green is open. Put on your skates and hit the ice. Even if you spend half the time clinging to the railing, gliding (or stumbling) across the ice makes for a memorable holiday experience.
