Although the end of December is quickly approaching, there’s still time to enjoy fun, festive December holiday events. Christmas has been a national holiday in the U.S. since 1870, and with that rich history and tradition, there is no shortage of opportunities to enjoy the holiday celebrations.

The December Holiday Events list was selected from AAA’s Calendar of Events and has been modified to reflect activities that are currently taking place.

Look for the special Santa hat symbol to find favorites recommended by auto travel counselors at AAA and CAA offices coast to coast. The AAA TravelViews staff hope you enjoy this season of giving with your friends and family.
