Jingle bells, jazz notes, and jolly

Jingle bells, jazz notes, and jolly laughs are all set to mingle in the air because NOLA ChristmasFest is coming to town, and it’s bringing the North Pole to the New Orleans Convention Center! As the marketing director of the New Orleans Guest House, I, Karen Brem, am here to unwrap the details of this frosty fiesta faster than you can say “beignet.”

From December 21st through the 30th, prepare to slide, glide, and stride through a holiday paradise that’s so full of cheer, even the Grinch might just crack a smile. Let’s dive nose-first into this eggnog-scented adventure!

Sledding in the South? You Bet! An ice slide in New Orleans? Why, of course! We like our slopes like we like our jazz — smooth and cool. This is your chance to swoosh down an icy incline and feel the chilly wind ruffle your earmuffs — all without leaving the comfort of the great indoors.

Ice Skating Rink Now, an indoor ice rink might seem as out of place in New Orleans as a snowball at a crawfish boil, but we’re full of surprises. Lace up those skates and pirouette (or, you know, cautiously shuffle) across the rink. It’s like Bourbon Street for the balance-challenged: everyone’s welcome, and the tumbles are all part of the fun!

Yuletide Market No need to dream of a White Christmas when you can shop in one at our Yuletide Market. Browse through stalls that sparkle with unique gifts and decorations, making your holiday shopping as easy as finding lagniappe in a po’ boy. You’ll find everything from artisanal crafts to the kind of ornaments that’ll make your tree do the Second Line.

Gingerbread Village Stroll through a gingerbread village where the houses are so adorable, you’ll want to take a bite out of the real estate. Marvel at the sugary shingles and gumdrop gardens. It’s like stepping into a storybook, only with more frosting and fewer calories… because looking is calorie-free, right?

Photos with Santa Claus And who’s that in the red suit? Santa Claus is coming to the Crescent City! Snap a photo with the jolly old elf himself. Tell him what you want for Christmas, or, for the grown-ups, whisper your New Year’s resolutions. He’s got a direct line to the holiday spirit (and probably some elf on the shelf).

Family-Friendly Fun at the New Orleans Guest House After a day filled with sugarplums and ice capades, the New Orleans Guest House offers a cozy nook to hang your stockings — and your hats. We’re all about family-friendly comfort and affordability, with a staff so warm you’ll think you’re sipping hot cocoa by the fireplace. We’re just a snowball’s throw from all the holiday action, guaranteeing you won’t miss a single “ho ho ho!”

Remember, at the New Orleans Guest House, we promise three things: clean rooms, affordable prices, and a staff that’s more delightful than a Christmas choir. Our prime location is just the ribbon on the present, perfect for your festive stay in the Crescent City.
