Christmas becomes a grand occasion along the shores of Newport, where magnificent mansions wear the season beautifully. Towering trees and lavish holiday decorations bring warmth to rooms built for another era’s most extravagant entertaining. Inside Marble House and The Elms, the pleasure is in the details—the craftsmanship, the elegance, the sense of stepping into a world few ever called home. At The Breakers, sparkling lights transform the grounds after dark, adding a little Christmas wonder to Newport’s coastal grandeur.
There is a gentler elegance to Blithewold, where a holiday mansion tour and High Tea invite you to linger over the season. Beyond its windows, Narragansett Bay lends a distinctly New England backdrop to the occasion. Newport’s scenic Ten-Mile Drive reveals another side of this seaside escape: sweeping ocean views and a coastline every bit as captivating as the homes overlooking it.
In Boston, Christmas has a soundtrack. Hear it fill Symphony Hall during the Boston Holiday Pops, a beloved tradition that turns an evening of music into a celebration. Feel it in the anticipation as the curtain rises on Boston Ballet’s The Nutcracker, with its enchanting score, graceful dancers and storybook world. These are the holiday outings you dress up for, look forward to and remember.
That festive spirit carries into the city’s historic streets, from holiday sightseeing and the Freedom Trail to Trinity Church and shopping at Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. There’s time to find a thoughtful gift, admire the seasonal surroundings and enjoy being somewhere special with people who share your delight in the discoveries.
