A holiday wonderland awaits visitors to Christmas at Cantigny.  This holiday treat includes dazzling new light installations set to music in the gardens, the McCormick House decorated in French flair, a new pop-up Christmas bar, the Noel Lounge in the House, and ice skating. Tickets are on sale now at Cantigny.org. Cantigny’s gardens and grounds are lit up and the McCormick House is a stunning backdrop to a new light show set to Christmas music. Wide accessible pathways lead visitors through creative lighting displays – a festive stroll offering surprise and delight for all ages. Along the half-mile path, visitors will have the chance to sip hot cocoa and roast marshmallows. On Sundays, Cantigny will transform into a tribute to Taylor Swift, with lights set to songs every fan will know and love. Outside the Visitors Center, a 100-by-40-foot ice rink will add some wintery magic to the scene. Skaters can rent blades or bring their own and the whole family can cozy up by the fire pits, roast s’mores, sip on specialty drinks and enjoy the festive atmosphere. Visitors can also reserve a private “Cocoa Cabana,” perfect for friend groups and families. On weekends in December, guests can indulge in an elegant and exclusive Holiday Brunch at the McCormick House. Each intimate seating offers a decadent spread, from luxurious seafood to tender beef with an array of gourmet delights like handmade quiches, local bacon, and a sumptuous dessert collection.
