Cairnwood Estate gives guests a look back in time at Christmas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. When touring the estate during Christmas, you will get a stunning, two-story Christmas tree at the heart of the home. An annual Christmas gown exhibition that includes elegant fashions worn by the ladies of the house is displayed in the estate each year. The Holiday Tea & Tours gives you access to the gown exhibition with a guided tour as well as an elegant, sit-down tea hosted in the estate’s dining, music, or billiard rooms. Holiday tea is a Victorian Age custom, which is revived and relived at Cairnwood during Christmastime. For an even more festive event, Cairnwood by Candlelight on December 12 gives you a candle-lit experience of the holiday tour with live music, yuletide desserts, and holiday cheer!
Nothing says Christmas like poinsettias in a church, and the Bryn Athyn Cathedral’s Christmas décor is nothing short of spectacular. During the holiday season, the custom-made nativity scene that was commissioned for the Pitcairn family in the 1920s is on display in the Romanesque-style cathedral. Explore the symbolism and floor-to-ceiling stained- glass windows as you tour this magnificent piece of architecture.
Whether you are looking to attend the Medieval Festival and experience the golden fall leaves or want to tour the World Nativities and see hundreds of poinsettias, the Bryn Athyn Historic District is the ultimate holiday destination.
