To kick off the holiday season, The Henderson will host its annual Santa’s Christmas Tree Lighting on Sunday, December 1 from 6-8 p.m. on the Grand Piazza located adjacent to the resort’s main entrance. Local carolers from the Village Baptist Church will perform from 6-7 p.m. along with the C.W. Ruckel Middle School Ambassadors. There will also be plenty of activities for children to delight in, including ornament and hot cocoa mug decorating stations. There will also be hot cocoa, eggnog, and a signature holiday beverage to sip on before Santa and Mrs. Claus make their grand entrance.  The community is invited to commemorate this holiday celebration with complimentary photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus in front of the iconic Christmas tree.
