Comfort's Christmas Celebration Honors First Responders Following Hill Country Flooding

The Comfort Chamber of Commerce will host the 39th annual Christmas in Comfort celebration on November 29, 2025, transforming the historic Hill Country town into a holiday destination featuring dazzling decorations, live music, and thousands of twinkling lights throughout the historic district. This year's event carries special significance as local first responders will serve as grand marshals of the beloved lighted night parade, honoring their dedication and hard work during recent flooding in the Texas Hill Country.

Margaret Stone, Comfort Chamber of Commerce board member and Christmas in Comfort event organizer, emphasized the community's appreciation for emergency personnel. We want to show our appreciation for these brave men and women who are the backbone of emergency services for our communities, Stone said. We invite residents throughout the Hill Country to join us at the parade to express our gratitude for the service of our first responders.

The full day of family-friendly activities begins at 10 a.m. with arts and crafts booths lining High Street and Seventh Street until 9 p.m., offering handmade gifts and holiday decor from local artisans. Multiple food courts and drink booths will operate throughout the day, featuring local cuisine and festive beverages. Live performances will entertain visitors on multiple stages from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., showcasing local musicians and entertainers.

Children can enjoy photos with Santa, a petting zoo, face painting, gingerbread decorating, and holiday crafts throughout the day. The evening culminates with the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at 6 p.m., followed by the iconic Weinachten Lichter parade at 7 p.m. The celebration concludes with a spectacular fireworks display over the football field.

As featured on The Building Texas Show, Comfort has been recognized as a hidden gem within the Texas Hill Country, renowned for its rich history and uniquely charming atmosphere.
