Taos, New Mexico - Distinct Holiday season breaks! Get lowest rates instantly!

For a truly special take on Christmas celebrations, consider a holiday to Taos during the course of the christmas season. The town's Native American and Hispanic influences prevail, inspiring a multicultural twist to the holiday season with activities like the lighting of Ledoux Street, where the charming street's shops, museums, studios and galleries offer music, drink and food, and bonfires to passersby's, and the avenue is lined with farolitos, or small lanterns, warmly glowing.

Taos's Christmas tree lighting takes place at the end of November in a festivity that involves carol singing and the arrival of Santa Claus in a vintage fire truck. In the times preceding Christmas, the town also rejoices in the Hispanic tradition, "Las Posadas", a candlelight processional at Ranchos de Taos Plaza, as well as a spectacle of Los Pastores, a Spanish morality play.
