Come to the Texas Botanical Gardens immediately after the Chamber of Commerce’s Parade of Lights to sample the best hot cocoa in Texas! When all of the tastings is done, grab a ballot and declare your favorite! The winner will be announced in the newspaper the following week.

While you’re at the gardens, take a walk through and find all of the hiding gnomes, purchase a Luminary and place it in the gardens in the name of someone you love, or donate a year-end gift to the gardens with the Giving Tree in the Welcome Center.
