This holiday season, give a gift that will last a lifetime, and maybe many more—create a Colonial Williamsburg tradition. Between Thanksgiving and the first weekend in January, choose from hundreds of holiday dining, program, and music events—including many that highlight coffee, chocolate, and hospitality to celebrate Charlton’s Coffeehouse opening. ’Tis the season to experience the Historic Area’s rich traditions and exquisite decorations and enjoy this romantic interpretation of Christmas two centuries ago. The options to build special memories here are endless. And remember, with your visit, you’re also giving back, by helping to support The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
