Mashantucket, CT (November 10, 2023) – 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 that will welcome guests of all ages to experience the Wonder of It All this holiday season.  

Black Friday and Cyber Monday call for incredible deals at Tanger at Foxwoods and other Foxwoods properties, where guests can shop ‘til they drop at their favorite stores and purchase discounted tickets for upcoming concerts and events, plus book reduced hotel rooms and suites for their next Foxwoods getaway. Be on the lookout for more details later this month. 

The resort casino’s holiday season truly kicks off with the longstanding Foxwoods tradition, the annual Christmas Tree Lighting. Taking place on Saturday, December 2, this beloved holiday event will feature live performances, seasonal treats and a special celebrity appearance. Foxwoods’ beloved Ice Rink and Winter Terrace will also be opening back up to the public, allowing guests to 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. 

Restaurants across Foxwoods will offer specially-crafted dinner menus, only available during the Christmas season. Guests will have the opportunity to surround themselves with thousands of ornaments, glittering lights and festive décor at Cedars Steak & Oysters, or enjoy seasonal menu items at Gordon Ramsay HELL’S KITCHEN. 

Kids of all ages can also enjoy a magical Breakfast with Santa at Cedars Steak & Oysters on Saturday, December 2, 9, 16 and Sunday, December 17. Santa will take a break from his busy workshop to snap photos and supply a special holiday menu, including candy canes and gingerbread houses that guests can take home. In addition, Boozy Brunch Hosted by The Grinch will take place at Cedars on Sunday, December 3 and 10, where guests 21 and over will have the chance to raise their spirits – and their glasses – over delicious cocktails and menu items. 

Guests looking for a unique experience can look no further than The Holidays Are a Drag, a drag queen extravaganza taking place Saturday, December 16 at Centrale. Connecticut drag queens Jolina Jasmine, Mia E. Z’lay, Natalia Fierce and Kenya Mone Heart will be serving up holiday classics for the occasion through show-stopping numbers, fierce fashion and a touch of glitter.   

The holiday season at Foxwoods is also marked by a dazzling array of shows and performances, including renowned jazz musician Kenny G’s Miracles Holiday and Hits Tour (December 2) and an exclusive screening of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, followed by a Q&A with actor Chevy Chase (December 2).

Beginning Friday, November 10 through Friday, December 8, collection boxes will be located by the elevator bays on the casino level of the following: Bingo Hall, Great Cedar Garage, Grand Pequot Tower South in front of Cedars, and The Fox Tower. 

From December 26 through December 28, families can keep their children entertained at Foxwoods with Kids/Teen Week all winter break.
