Merry Christmas 2024 at Noritake Garden

Get ready to experience a Christmas wonderland like no other! This year, Noritake Garden is decking the halls with more than just the usual twinkling trees. For the first time, one of the iconic chimney monuments has been transformed into a dazzling Christmas tree, adding a unique and whimsical touch to the festive atmosphere. 🎄

And who could forget Santa? You’ll find him in two merry locations: cheerfully perched beside the traditional Christmas tree, and hilariously stuck in the chimney monument (we suspect it’s his jolly belly that caused the predicament! 😂).

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Sharpen your wits and put on your walking shoes for a special crossword puzzle rally, starting Saturday, November 23rd. Explore the beautifully decorated grounds while solving clues and enjoying the festive spirit.
