The holiday season is upon us!
Replace that pumpkin spice with peppermint mocha and get those winter wardrobes ready!
There are so many fun things to do this Holiday Season in the Coastal Bend! Thanks to our friends at the American Bank Center, we have scoured the internet and found all of the food, shopping, and family fun events and put them together for you so that you can fill your calendar with memory-making things to do all over the Coastal Bend!
Coastal Christmas returns for its 4th annual event. Bring the whole family and celebrate the season at the best winter wonderland in South Texas. Kids of all ages will enjoy indoor ice skating, family photo ops, holiday characters, holiday refreshments and more!
