Hallmark presents its first-ever Hallmark Christmas Experience in Kansas City, and it’s going to be magical!

A few months ago, Hallmark launched its own Christmas cruise, and today the company is unveiling a Holiday festival: the Hallmark Christmas Experience. It will take place every weekend from November 29 to December 23, 2024. To experience this unique celebration true to the Christmas movies you watch on TV, you’ll have to fly to Kansas City, right outside Hallmark’s headquarters.

Hallmark Christmas Experience : Activities for the whole family.

If you’re reading this article, you must love the magic of Christmas, me too! No one does Christmas better than Hallmark! Pack your suitcase, buy your plane ticket and get ready to immerse yourself in an ultimate Christmas decor. What awaits you there? You’ll be able to wander through the aisles of a Christmas market, ice-skate under a giant lighted Christmas tree, drink delicious hot chocolate and savor festive sweets, watch a spectacular musical light show, shop for merchandise and wrap it at a gift-wrapping station, send a letter to Santa Claus, take a bucolic stroll through a display of lights and snap dozens (hundreds!) of photos to make precious memories. Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? I’m already living it. The Hallmark Christmas Experience is for the whole family, and both children and adults will be starry-eyed.
