Southern Winter Getaway to Make the Most of Winter
You don’t know it yet, but there’s more to winter than counting snowflakes and searching for lost mittens. There’s a place you can go where you won’t need an ice scraper or those cute little packets you put inside your boots to keep your feet warm. Welcome to the world of winter at Callaway Resort & Gardens, one of the Peach State’s premier winter getaway locations. Take a minute and discover why you should make plans now to visit this winter.
The Weather Outside Is Delightful
It’s fun to sing about frightful weather in holiday songs. You can sing let it snow all you want here, but you’ll be happy to know the winter weather in the Gardens is delightful. December temperatures average the low 60s, so you may need a light jacket, but no heavy winter wear. Do pack your walking shoes and plan to spend part of your winter getaway enjoying flowers and shrubs native to Georgia. You’ll enjoy a stunning burst of color at every turn. Don’t miss the Holly Trail, where you’ll discover magnificent displays of Asian and American holly.
Fantasy in Lights
Billed as the South’s Christmas Tradition, this is one event you simply cannot miss! You’ll find no winter blues hanging out here. Instead, you’ll marvel at 8 million twinkling lights draped around trees and fashioned into charming holiday scenes. Take a magical ride on the Jolly Trolley or enjoy the lights from your own vehicle. Don’t forget to stop by the Christmas Village and take a photo with Santa. Make sure you’re here for the weekend when the Christmas characters come out for a special breakfast celebration. If you’re searching for vacation packages near Atlanta, you’ve found the best here! Fantasy in Lights runs nightly from November 15, 2019, through January 4, 2020.
Make It a Family Winter Adventure
You can’t plan a proper winter getaway without booking a few nights in one of the resort’s cozy Cottages or Villas. Enjoy all the comforts of home with full kitchens, living, and dining areas. During the day, enjoy special activities like the popular Birds of Prey show. Visit the tropical butterfly conservatory at the Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center.
