Description: It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” with the Snow Place Like Mockingbird Station activation taking place to enjoy. Although this holiday looks different than most, Mockingbird Stations festive window displays provide a fun escape to canceled holiday traditions. In addition to holiday window displays, the shopping center is celebrating “the most wonderful time of the year by making spirits bright” with their Winter Wonderland display featuring a large six-foot-tall light up snowflake and The Station’s signature Big Red Chair located under the canopies across from West Elm. This Winter Wonderland provides fun festive photo opportunities throughout The Station for shopping patrons. Another way The Station is also providing holiday cheer this season is by supporting the Holiday of Hope Toy Drive benefitting Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center. This year, giving back is more important than ever, especially for children living in the aftermath of criminal child abuse. Each year, DCAC brings a smile to thousands of clients’ faces when providing them with gifts and toys through their annual Holiday of Hope campaign which hopes to provide toys to more than 2,000 families this holiday season amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Mockingbird Station invites you to help spread holiday cheer and give back by dropping off toy donations for the Holiday of Hope campaign before December 17th. Toy donations can be dropped off at the following Mockingbird Station tenant locations: • Accents, Suite 170 • Angelika Film Center, Suite 230 • Dallas Grilled Cheese Co., Suite 120 • Outside, Texas, Suite 122 • Pure Milk & Honey, Suite 135 • The Lofts at Mockingbird Station • Urban Taco, Suite 125 • Woodhouse Day Spa, Suite 172 Mockingbird Station and its tenants understand the hardships that Dallasites have faced throughout 2020, which is why they are so excited and hope to spread joy and jingles to the community with their Snow Place Like Christmas activation.

Description: Included with general admission or 12 Days at Night admission. Inspired by European Christmas Markets, or Christkindlmarket, The Christmas Village is comprised of charming shops and façades representing a quaint European hamlet. In total, 14 delightful shops and façades debuted in 2019 and more will be added this year. New this year is the handcrafted German-built Christmas pyramid, which measures 23-feet-tall and is decorated with hand-carved elements and beautiful lighted motion on every level. The Christmas Pyramid is the perfect complement to the Christmas Village and is the signature element in Pyramid Square along with three new shops including an Edelweiss Haus with food and drink, a Chocolate Shop and a Toy Shop. Known for their beautiful handiwork and woodwork, German artisans from the Erzgebirge region (Ore mountains) created the octagon-shaped Christmas Pyramid. Carving each figure by hand, 15 workers spent 2,150 hours to design and build this handmade, one-of-a-kind pyramid. Each of the four levels spins and is illuminated by four candles.
