The Woodlands in Texas is a wonderful place to live, with comfortable year round temperatures. The low in January is an average of 42 degrees when most of the country is in the 20’s. This makes for lovely winter strolls and crisp evenings out under the stars. There are elegant holiday events that everyone will enjoy. Here are a few of our favorites in December and January:
Holiday Events
December 8-10, is the Tomball German Christmas Market and Festival. There will be over 200 street vendors, tents, musicians, German food, Christmas lights, and strolling entertainers.
