Let us take the guess work out of what to do with your Crossroads kiddos this weekend! Here is our top five favorites for this weekend, and BONUS, the one thing next weekend you will NOT WANT TO MISS!

VPL Gingerbread House Workshop 32 Years And Counting! 

Talk about a Christmas tradition! The Victoria Public Library’s gingerbread house workshop has been giving local kids a chance to decorate their own unique gingerbread houses and collect other festive goodies to take home for 32 years in the Crossroads!

The gingerbread house workshop will be 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Dec. 10 at the Victoria Community Center annex. Kits will be provided while supplies last.

Here is another Christmas tradition in the Crossroads that will leave your children in awe. The Victoria Ballet Theatre invites you to one of the Crossroad's long-standing Christmas traditions, 'The Nutcracker'. Check out performance times and dates and click to get your tickets, here.

Victoria's Best Kept Christmas Secret Revealed

Right on the corner of Mallette and Blyth sits an acre and a half of land once considered just part of the countryside of Victoria. Joy Pittman and her best friend Debbie Stephens have spent over a decade making something truly unique for Victoria, creating Victoria's Christmas Wonderland, undoubtedly, Victoria's best kept Christmas secret.

Cut your family Christmas tree with the kids!

Did you know you can cut your own Christmas tree up the road from Victoria? It's at a place just outside of Luling called Abrameit’s Tree Farm. You can choose and cut your very own Virginia Pine Christmas Tree, it's a pretty cool way to get this year's Christmas Tree. If you prefer you can choose a precut Fraser, Noble, Nordman, or Douglas Firs!

Speaking of trees, don't forget to drive downtown Victoria this weekend to enjoy the beautiful Christmas tree next to DeLeon Plaza. Park and enjoy the Christmas tree outdoors. The weather should be perfect!

Take a night drive to Cuero to see Cuero's Christmas in The Park. 

Cuero's Christmas in the Park will run through New Year's Day. Park hours will be nightly from 6:00 PM through 10:00 PM. We are planning to go tonight, so we hope to see you there! This is one event my kids look forward too, even as adults now!

Go see Santa at the Victoria Mall! 

This year, you will have a chance to take your picture with Santa while sharing your Christmas Wish List. Also, when you book your appointment, receive a free phone call from Santa as their exclusive gift to you when you book online. There are 24-time slots available every day and you can reserve your spot by clicking here.

No matter what you do this weekend, we want to wish you and your children a safe and fun weekend and a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO COME!

Can you believe Christmas is already 16 days away????
