Sacramento is gearing up to fully bring back holiday activities after several cancelations last year, including the Theater of Lights on the Old Sacramento Waterfront, the New Year's Eve Sky Spectacular fireworks show, the Polar Express trains, the Imaginarium Festival of Lights (presented by Global Winter Wonderland), lighting displays at popular locations like the Fab 40s and Dovewood Court, and so much more.

While you're in town with family this year, treat yourself to a holiday drink – be it hot cocoa or a hot toddy – and support local businesses by buying unique gifts from them for those you love.

If you're coming in from out of town, treat yourself with a Sacramento hotel stay that gives you your own space and keeps you close to all the best holiday activities.
