For Families
For some Braselton area residents, the Holiday Lights Trolley Tour has become a family tradition. Here are some of the activities these longtime trolley-riders enjoy doing with the whole family.
Get Festive
Come dressed for the occasion in Santa hats, reindeer antlers, or glow-in-the-dark accessories. Arrive 15 minutes early, so you have time to take a family portrait before the tour. Familiar holiday tunes will play during the ride, so be sure to bring your singing voices!
Family Dinner
There are plenty of places near Pinnacle Bank where the tour begins and ends, so you don't have to load everyone back up in the car for dinner. Find casual dining to suit the kids at Jack's Public House, Ki Rin Asian Restaurant, Pat's Eatery, Tom Henry's BBQ and Wayback Burgers. Jack's Public House also has a well-stocked bar and big-screen sports to entertain the adults.
Sweet Stop
Cap off your sweet tour with a sweet treat! Juke N Jive Creamery, Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery are steps away from the trolley tour. Enjoy hot cocoa, cookies, fudge and ice cream after your trolley ride.
For Couples
Couples always gravitate to the trolley's bench seating and nostalgic charm. When combined with twinkling Christmas lights and Bing Crosby, it's a recipe for romance!
Dinner for Two
Turn the night into an extra special occasion with a fine dining experience at Chateau Elan Winery & Resort, only 2 miles from the tour. Make photo memories in front of the wine bottle Christmas trees and decorated chateau. Or choose Houndstooth Grill & Bar for a classy casual atmosphere. Houndstooth hosts monthly five-course wine tasting dinners and also features a special holiday menu.
A Night to Remember
Make it a long weekend and stay overnight at Chateau Elan Winery & Resort or one of Braselton's six other hotels.
