The holidays don’t have to be packed with plans to be meaningful. In Callaway County, the season is about slowing down, spending time together, and enjoying simple moments — whether that’s a cozy date night, a family outing, or a quiet afternoon exploring familiar places in a new way.
If you’re looking for inspiration this holiday season, here are a few easy ways to make memories right here in Callaway County.
Cozy Holiday Date Ideas
The weeks leading up to the holidays are perfect for low-pressure, meaningful time together. Whether you’re planning something special or keeping it casual, Callaway County offers plenty of ways to connect.
Enjoy dinner at a local restaurant such as Beks or Canterbury Hill Winery and Restaurant, then take a drive through Callaway County to soak in the seasonal atmosphere and check out some Christmas lights. For something more relaxed, meet for coffee or sweet treat at Sunrise Rooster or Summit Coffee Bar— sometimes the simplest plans lead to the best conversations.
If you’re in the mood for entertainment, check out a movie or live performance at Fulton 8 Cinema or The Brick District Playhouse. For a slower-paced evening, a visit to Serenity Valley Winery or Elderblossom View can be a great way to unwind and enjoy the season together.
Family-Friendly Holiday Fun
The holidays are a great time to make memories with the whole family, and Callaway County offers plenty of opportunities to do just that.
Plan a visit to America’s National Churchill Museum or attend a seasonal community event like Festival of Lights at Fulton’s Veteran’s Park or one of Callaway County’s five parades. Hands-on activities such as crafting days at the Callaway County Public Library are a fun way to spend time together and create something meaningful.
Sometimes, the best family traditions are the simplest ones — a game or two at Fulton Bowling Center, a stroll through downtown, or a cozy family movie night at home with delivery from Brooklyn Pizza.
Experiences That Last Longer Than the Wrapping Paper
When it comes to gift-giving, experiences often mean more than things — and they’re a wonderful way to support local businesses.
Consider experience-based gifts like Brick District Gift Cards, tickets to upcoming events, or memberships and classes from 24/7 Grit Fitness, Wild+Well Studio, or EVOLVE Dance Academy.
These types of gifts turn into shared memories and often become traditions families and couples look forward to year after year.
