In The Land, the holidays are the most wonderful time of the year. Expect over-the-top holiday decorating, ridiculously ugly sweaters, leg lamp displays, Christmas Ale imbibing and, of course, light displays so bright that we’re sure they can be seen from space.

In a city that takes shopping and its arts and entertainment seriously, Cleveland offers endless options to help you and your family continue your holiday traditions — or even make some new ones along the way.

Whether you’re grabbing uniquely CLE gifts from a local artisan, sitting down to a holiday performance with loved ones, or admiring the “major award” glowing in the window of the A Christmas Story House, welcome to The Land of Making Merry Memories.
