Texas has no shortage of Christmas festivities, and some of the very best are hiding where you’d least expect to find them. Stevenson Park in Friendswood is where you’ll find the Home for the Holidays Lighted Christmas Trail, which boasts more than 100,000 lights, iconic holiday characters, letters to Santa, and even a fairy trail.
Friendswood’s annual “Santa in the Park” event won’t take place this year, but it’s been replaced by something even better.
