25N Frisco’s Local Holiday Activity Guide (the one Yule Absolutely Love)
Maybe you need something fun to do during those long winter-break weeks. Maybe you need an excuse to step away from five straight days of online shopping. Either way, on your day off from 25N, here’s your shortcut to Frisco’s best holiday happenings. Perfect for families, couples, or your solo wanderings.
November 21–January 5: Skate the Square (Frisco Square Ice Rink)
Kick off the season with Frisco’s iconic outdoor ice rink. Whether you’re skating with kids, channeling your inner figure skater, or holding hands with someone you’re trying to impress, this is a classic winter outing.
November 22–December 21: Cowboys Christmas Extravaganza (The Star)
Every Friday and Saturday at 6 PM, The Star turns into a full-blown holiday spectacle. Think: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, a 67-foot LED Christmas tree lighting, live performances, pyro effects, and a Santa cameo. Big energy, big crowds, big fun. And it’s free.
November 22–December (various dates): ICE! featuring Elf at Gaylord Texan
Walk through larger-than-life scenes carved from over 2 million pounds of ice—all themed around Elf. Expect premium photo ops, two-story ice slides, and a very Buddy-the-Elf level of holiday enthusiasm. Great for families or a couples’ night out.
December 12: Holly Jolly Movie Night at PGA Frisco
A cozy outdoor movie night featuring holiday classics. Bring blankets, snacks, and your favorite people. Perfect for a relaxed date night or family outing.
November–December: Light the Park (RoughRiders Stadium)
Load up the car and drive through an immersive holiday light experience set to music. A low-effort, high-payoff outing—ideal for families with little kids or anyone looking for something festive without getting out of the car.
December: Christmas in the Square
Millions of lights, choreographed light shows, holiday activities, and Frisco’s signature festive atmosphere. Runs all season long, so it’s an easy, repeatable outing to add to your holiday rotation.
All December: Burkman Holiday Home
If you love a good over-the-top Christmas display, this nationally recognized home (as seen on The Great Christmas Light Fight) is a must-stop. Park, walk, and soak in the wildly detailed holiday setup.
Address: 3809 Hazelhurst Dr, Frisco, TX 75034
Late November–December: Sleigh Club Holiday Pop-Up (Suburban Yacht Club)
For the grown-ups: a kitschy, cocktail-forward holiday pop-up bar with festive drinks and full immersive décor. Great for date night or a post-work holiday hang.
