December Fun On Cape Cod
The holidays on the Cape is truly an exciting time. There are few towns that don’t have multiple events going on for you to thoroughly enjoy and celebrate the holiday season. Arts and crafts fairs, holiday plays, dances and crafting demonstrations are found all throughout.
The Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich are decked out with a million lights on over one hundred acres of gardens through December 31st. There are also indoor Victorian displays, a holiday boutique, and holiday treats. Free rides on an antique carousel will delight children from one to ninety-two with a nostalic trip to the past. Make your way through the Hart Family Maze or have your picture taken with Santa in the Model T at the J. K. Lilly Automobile Museum.
The Harwich Junior Theater is performing the classic and timeless holiday tale, A Christmas Story from December eight to the thirtieth.
Other performance treats include the Cape Cod Symphony, renditions of Vivaldi’s Gloria and Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus, the Vienna Boys Choir, as well as readings of Charles Dickens’ favorite A Christmas Carol.

Christmas strolls have become a popular Cape Cod tradition in many of the towns including Barnstable, Chatham, Dennis, Falmouth, Harwich, Hyannis, Osterville, Sandwich and Yarmouthport. These strolls are tied in with other events such as caroling on town greens or lighthouses, tree lighting, the arrival of Santa (sometimes even by boat), open houses, museum events and Christmas parades.

Book A Cape Cod Holiday Vacation! Consider spending the holiday season on Cape Cod so you too can explore all that the region has to offer during this special time of year.
Already have plans for the holidays? Perhaps you are reading this after the holiday season. Well, apart from telling you to book now for next year, how about considering a romantic winter vacation on the Cape? What better way to enjoy Cape Cod’s countryside and Honeysuckle Hill’s charm than with a romantic winter getaway. In winter, the quiet and peacefulness of the Cape is something that must be experienced firsthand. Just close your eyes and listen. The winter sunset on the beaches is a glorious treat that photos just can’t fully capture. It must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
A person cannot live on romance and scenery alone. During the winter you can also enjoy great antique shopping, Woods Hole Science Aquarium, cross country skiing and tubing, fine dining, ice skating, and even enjoy seal watching and the occasional flip of a whale fin. Keep an eye out for a Cape Cod tradition of decorating trees and shrubs near the beaches with shells and other beachcast treasures. Everyone is welcome to contribute.
Last of all, return to the inn for a warm cozy fire and a sip of hot chocolate or a favorite wine to enjoy the warmth of family and friends.
