About Christmas at Biltmore

This year during Christmas at Biltmore Estate, American and Vanderbilt Christmas traditions come to life with Biltmore House’s extravagant holiday décor. Music in the Third Floor Living Hall fills America’s largest home with Yuletide cheer, while dozens of Christmas trees, miles of garland, and thousands of twinkling lights transform every room into a vision of splendor.

Candlelight Christmas Evenings

The Biltmore House is spectacular with hundreds of luminaries and the golden radiance of candlelight and firelight illuminating our elegant holiday décor. Tinsel, beads, and German-blown glass ornaments twinkle in the glow of thousands of white lights. Music from choirs and musicians adds holiday spirit to the evening’s enchantment.

You must purchase a ticket to enter the Biltmore Estate.
