There are holiday getaways, and then there’s the Hilton Anatole during Christmas, which feels less like a hotel stay and more like walking straight into a giant, glitter-infused snow globe. The whole place transforms into a winter playground packed with sparkle, skyline views, and the kind of festive cheer that can turn even your Grinchiest uncle into someone who suddenly says things like “Wow, magical!” Whether you’ve been coming here for years or you’re plotting your very first visit, the Anatole makes December feel bigger, brighter and far more joyful than maybe even the Claus house way up north.
And the best part? Everything is in one place. No shuttling between events. No traffic. No frantic Googling of “kid-friendly holiday things near me.” Just pure, easy fun with a side of great food and a whole lot of memory-making.
Christmas at the Anatole Package
If you want the full holiday experience without breaking a sweat, the Christmas at the Anatole package is your golden ticket. It bundles the best of the season into one smooth, no-stress getaway.
The package includes two tickets to the outdoor ice-skating rink, where you can glide under twinkling lights and pretend that Dallas is having its own North Pole moment. Then there’s the $50 food and beverage credit, which can be used for everything from hot chocolate refuels to festive cocktails to kid-approved snacks. It’s easy, fun and delightfully holiday-forward, all wrapped up in one cozy bundle.
Breakfast with Santa
Breakfast with Santa at SĒR Steak + Spirits is not just a sit-and-eat kind of morning. It’s a full-on holiday event wrapped around a skyline-level brunch 27 floors above the city. Every Saturday and Sunday now through December 24 (plus bonus dates on December 22, 23 and 24), families head to the top of the tower for a buffet that covers every kind of craving.
Kids dive into storybook readings and hands-on cookie decorating and coloring while Santa and Mrs. Claus make their rounds, turning the morning into a steady rotation of sugar, excitement and adorable chaos. Grown-ups get panoramic views and plates full of brunch favorites. Every family leaves with a complimentary keepsake photo with Santa and the Mrs., and guests also receive a discount to the outdoor ice-skating rink. It’s warm, whimsical and the kind of holiday tradition you’ll want to stick around for years to come.
Christmas at the Anatole Experience
Step outside, and the Christmas at Anatole Experience takes over with twinkling paths, treats around every corner and attractions that make the whole property feel like a holiday adventure park. Families wander, snap photos, laugh, eat and move from one cheerful moment to the next at their own pace. It’s cozy, charming and energetic all at once, which is exactly why people come back every year.
Here are the holiday highlights that make the Experience unforgettable:
