Do you love the holiday season with a bit of German flare and ice skating for an evening? If so, look no further than the Denver Christkindl Market and an ice-skating rink just right across the street at Skyline Park for some additional fun! You might not think of this to do for Christmas in Denver, but we definitely recommend it. Enjoy authentic German cuisine, drinks, music and more beginning this weekend through December 23rd.

Nothing feels more like Christmas than getting a photo with Santa. So why not do so at the beloved Union Station’s, Santa at the Station surrounded by beautiful décor and one of the best Christmas trees in the city? Santa comes the first four Sundays in December to hear your wish list and take the most sought-after photo of the season!

When was the last time you’ve been on a sleigh ride? Probably too long ago! That’s why we recommend the West Keystone Sleigh Ride Dinner in Soda Creek Valley. Enjoy a delicious homemade dinner in the company of cowboys and cowgirls on the ranch and the opportunity to see those stunning stars in the Colorado night sky.

Another Christmas activity to do is attend the Santa’s Big Red Sack at the The People’s Building in Aurora.
