Holidays

At Riders Field in Frisco, Friday brought a doubleheader of sorts, as people went out to donate to Toys for Tots and enjoy a holiday festival.

A holiday parade featuring floats, band and giant inflatables returns to Downtown Dallas this weekend. It was only broadcast on TV last year because of COVID-19

Last year, the pandemic forced organizers to hold a reverse parade, where the floats stayed still, and the cars rode along to watch. This year, the floats are back on the move.

A pandemic-high of 2.4 million people passed through airport security Sunday, wrapping up a busy Thanksgiving holiday. And with more holiday travel to come, a group that represents passenger service agents put out quick videos with one goal in mind: cutting down on "air rage."

After taking a year off, Enchant Christmas is back at a new location. It's now in Dallas.

The southern Saint Nicholas donned his normal red suit but opted for a white hat and cowboy boots to complete the look. He also brought some holiday carolers with him along with Mrs. Claus, who hosted a storytime.

The day after Thanksgiving typically marks the unofficial beginning of the holiday shopping season, but stores in recent years have put less emphasis on it. This year, many may see higher prices and empty shelves due to the supply chain crisis.

Standing at 95-feet tall, the tree features 450,000 lights, 10,000 ornaments and a 100-pound sparkling star on top.

The Gift of Lights drive-thru opened Thursday at the racetrack in North Fort Worth. More than two million lights lined the roads. This year's display included Santa's Village.
