4) The Stockyards~ Merry Christmas Y’all
The Stockyards are iconic for Fort Worth and always a fun spot for a date. When The Stockyards are all gussied up for Christmas, it’s even more merry and bright.

5) Sundance Square~ Merriment on the Plaza
Sundance Square is another one of those Fort Worth spots that’s always great for a date.

6) Stage West~ Curtains up on Christmas Spirit
Stage West is proudly presenting Peter Rothstein’s All is Calm this holiday season. All is Calm On transports audience members to Christmas Eve of 1914, in the cold trenches of World War I, when something miraculous happened. That miracle leads to a meaningful Christmas celebration that reminds us all of the power of a shared humanity in dark times. It’s a great way to be reminded of the positive power of Christmas.
Fort Worth has pretty much turned into a holiday playground for sweethearts. As you can see, there are lots of ways to make this season full of holidates with Christmas cheer. Whether you’re in the mood for glitz, cozy, adventurous, or low-key love, there’s a holidate waiting for you.
