Taos, New Mexico - Special Holiday season breaks! Get best prices immediately!

For a truly original take on Xmas festivals, consider a visit to Taos throughout the holiday. The town's Native American and Hispanic influences are popular, introducing a multicultural twist to the holiday with activities such as the illuminating of Ledoux Street, where the wonderful street's shops, galleries, museums and studios deliver music, beverages and food, and bonfires to passersby's, and the neighborhood is lined with farolitos, or little lanterns, warmly shimmering.

Taos's Christmas tree lighting takes place at the end of November in a ceremony that features carol singing and the arrival of Father Christmas in a vintage fire truck. In the times prior to Christmas, the town additionally observes the Hispanic tradition, "Las Posadas", a candlelight processional at Ranchos de Taos Plaza, in addition to an exhibition of Los Pastores, a Spanish morality play.
