- Let the Christmas Music Play – Christmas Concert
Who doesn’t love Christmas music? Get into the holiday spirit by supporting performances from students in Nelson Worship, Nelson Choir, and local dance studios, and celebrate the season with festive entertainment. The free concert will begin at 7:30 pm in the Hagee Communication Center.

It’s a unique addition to the festivities and something everyone can enjoy! Whether you’re an animal lover or just looking for something fun to experience, it’s definitely worth checking out.
- A Taste of Christmas – Snack Stations
One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is the treats, and Christmas at Nelson does not disappoint! Enjoy the variety of snack stations featuring s’mores, hot chocolate, cookies, Ono Grindz, mini doughnuts, and more. There’s no shortage of options to satisfy your Christmas sweet tooth!
- All Aboard! – Train Ride and Hayride
All aboard! Take a ride through campus on a magical holiday train ride or hop on and enjoy a festive hayride. Either one you take, experience the Christmas atmosphere and the festive decorations as you make your way around the HCC. Grab your friends and don’t miss the chance to experience Christmas at Nelson.
- The Gift of Giving – Toy Drive
Christmas is a season of generosity, and guests will have the opportunity to share that spirit through the community toy drive. Bring a new, unwrapped toy and stop by one of the gift-wrapping stations during the event. Donated gifts will be wrapped, collected, and distributed through local partners to help bring joy to children and families throughout the community this Christmas season.
- A Hands-on Holiday – Christmas Crafts
Have some hands-on holiday fun with several activities offered to help you get creative this time of year. Make your own ornaments, enjoy coloring and bookmark making in the library, and get your face painted. You can also make your own Christmas card! Don’t forget to stop by and take a picture with Santa to capture a fun holiday memory to take with you!
Christmas at Nelson is the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season with our campus community. Whether you’re enjoying the treats, activities, or Christmas festivities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. So grab your friends and enjoy one of the best nights of the season.
