Catch the spirit of Christmas in Colonial Williamsburg! Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and smells of the season as you tour Berkeley Plantation, the site of the first official Thanksgiving in 1619. Good Housekeeping magazine suggests, “If you only have time for one plantation, Berkeley should be at the top of your list.”

Marvel at the Celebration in Lights, a two-mile drive through spectacular light displays in Newport News. Take a walking tour of Colonial Williamsburg and revel in the Grand Illumination! Miles of pine roping, truckloads of greenery and bushels of fresh fruit combine to give Colonial Williamsburg a much-imitated but never duplicated charm and elegance. The celebration includes fireworks, dancing, caroling and dramatic presentations.

You’ll be captivated by the million twinkling lights at Christmas Town: A Busch Gardens Celebration and enjoy Christmas in Jamestown, too. Nothing quite matches the excitement and grandeur of the Christmas season in Colonial Williamsburg.

Only 20 seats are available for this TRIPS! tour.
