Nothing signifies the arrival of Christmastime quite like ice skating. At the Dallas Galleria, you can twirl around the country’s largest Christmas tree, which is adorned with nearly half a million lights. Witness the magic for yourself:
Each year, the Dallas Galleria celebrates Christmas in a Texas-sized way. Before you even step inside the mall, shimmering lights already line every inch of the walkway.

Standing at an impressive four stories high, this magnificent tree is the world’s single-largest. With 450,000 lights, 10,000 ornaments, and 1,700 branches, it promises to be the highlight of your holiday shopping season.

Whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned pro, the ice rink treats everyone equally. Twirl around as spotlights shaped like common holiday symbols dance beneath your feet.

Embrace your inner professional figure skater (perhaps with a few more stumbles, but who’s counting?). Hold the rails if necessary, but inexperience is no excuse not to join in the fun.

November 30 at 6 p.m. is the grand tree lighting ceremony. There will be live performances by Olympic Medalist skaters in addition to Santa and so many more festivities. Each following Saturday, the tree will be illuminated all over again for those who weren’t able to make it previously.

A Christmas village, cookie and gingerbread house decorating, holiday tea parties, and Chanukah menorah lighting ceremonies keep the holiday cheer going all season long. Take a look at the Galleria’s event calendar for specific dates.
