| | | | | It isn't really holiday season in Indy until the city's largest Christmas tree lights up Monument Circle. You can't look away from the twinkle of 4,784 LED lights, the beauty of 52 garland strands, and the whimsy of 26 larger-than-life toy soldiers and sailors alongside 26 giant peppermint sticks. Bundle up, bring your hot cocoa, and revel in the joy of the 63rd annual tradition through January 10. Friday's opening ceremony features live music, Santa, and other festive programming to ensure holiday spirit floods the streets. Viewing is always free. | |

| | | | | | | Let's face it. You won't find anything one-of-a-kind at Wal-Mart, so channel that holiday shopping energy into visiting Broad Ripple, Mass Ave, Fountain Fletcher, the near Eastside, Speedway, Carmel, and Fishers. Make a day of it and shop local to support the small businesses in the Indy area and find unique gifts for your loved ones. Many of these neighborhood spots are offering special swag, too, and you'll definitely find some great restaurants along the way. | |

| | | | | It's time for holiday magic at the Indiana State Museum as Celebration Crossing opens in spectacular fashion Friday when Santa's helicopter lands on the front lawn. Join him, Mrs. Claus, and the elves to light the 92 County Tree, then explore Santa's Front Yard, the Reindeer Barn, animated window displays, the Snowfall Express train ride through a snowy forest, and much more. Visit Celebration Crossing throughout the season to take pictures with the Jolly Old Elf, enjoy a holiday breakfast, listen to holiday sounds with bands and choirs, and attend a Snowflake Pajama Party. All included with general admission of $16 and up. | |

The first 40,000 fans entering Lucas Oil Stadium will receive a "My Cause, My Cleats" keychain. Tickets are $89 and up. | |
