There are near-endless ways to get into the holiday spirit if you plan a trip to Asheville, North Carolina, over the next month.
Christmas at Biltmore is a can’t-miss experience, particularly this year as the landmark celebrates its 130th year welcoming guests for the holidays. Across the property, you’ll find more than 100 Christmas trees, more than 800 poinsettias and 45,000 Christmas lights.

Take in even more lights (to the tune of hundreds of thousands) at North Carolina Arboretum. Winter Lights starts up tomorrow and runs through early January.
View the oh-so-impressive gingerbread creations participating in the 2025 National Gingerbread House Competition at The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa. If you want the flexibility of seeing these houses anytime, Nov. 18–Jan. 4, plan to actually book your stay at the property. Otherwise, guests not staying at the hotel can stop by to see the houses on select dates.
Elsewhere, you can find a bevy of other holiday happenings throughout Asheville, no matter how you like to celebrate. Holiday markets, visits with Santa, tree lightings, ice skating, live music and more are all on tap.
