Mashantucket, CT (November 1, 2022) – It’s the most wonderful time of the year at Foxwoods® Resort Casino! This year, the Northeast’s premier holiday destination is unveiling an exciting lineup of festivities - from enchanting, wintery outdoor escapes to charming and cheerful yuletide events for all ages - Foxwoods welcomes guests to experience the Wonder of It All this holiday season.

Beginning on November 25, Foxwoods will open its beloved Ice Rink and Winter Terrace. Visitors can make their way around the ice while basking in the glow of thousands of holiday lights, and warm up from the cold in Foxwoods’ village of cozy, pop-up themed igloos while enjoying specially curated food and drinks.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday call for incredible deals at Tanger Outlets and other Foxwoods properties, where guests can shop ‘til they drop at their favorite stores, purchase discounted tickets for shows like Anastasia, Worship Live Holiday Tour, and The Clairvoyants Christmas, and book discounted hotel rooms and suites for their next Foxwoods getaway. Be on the lookout for more details later this month.

On December 3, Foxwoods will host its annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony. Beginning at 7PM, the holiday extravaganza will be complete with Christmas performers including Santa himself, a live musical performance, seasonal treats and a special appearance from comedian and actor Chevy Chase, who will be turning on the lights this year.

Cedars Steak & Oysters goes all out for Christmas! Starting November 25, the restaurant transforms into a Christmas Wonderland, complete with massive nutcracker statues and over 10,000 glistening ornaments and lights covering every inch. Guests can invite the entire family out for a meal worth remembering and enjoy a delectable menu featuring seasonal appetizers, dinner specials and cocktails.

It wouldn’t be the holiday season without Jolly Ole St. Nick, and this year, Santa himself will be hosting Breakfast at Cedars on the first three Saturdays in December. Kids, and guests of all ages, are welcome to enjoy a magical breakfast with Santa with festive bites from Cedars’ special holiday breakfast menu, as well as take personal photos for memories that will last a lifetime. For those 21 and over, Foxwoods’ 12 Bars of Christmas epic pub crawl returns bigger and better than ever with festive drink specials and reindeer games to celebrate the season on December 8, and Cedars Steak & Oysters will host a mean, green Boozy Brunch with The Grinch on December 18 featuring themed food and cocktails plus a live DJ.  

From December 26 through December 28, families can keep their children entertained at Foxwoods with Kids/Teen Week all winter break. Events include movie screenings, arts & crafts, games, group activities, and more.
