The holidays are right around the corner, and The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas is preparing for a season-long celebration as luxurious as the resort itself. The storied property will be transformed with dazzling décor around every corner – the main attraction being the 24-foot-tall tree perched atop a platform by the outdoor pool deck. Starting Nov. 29 guests are invited to create new memories and traditions through a lineup of themed events, perfect for families and adults seeking a special night out.
The fun starts with Holiday Movies Under the Stars on Saturdays and Sundays from 6 – 10 p.m. Bundle up under the Texas night sky to enjoy beloved holiday classics on the outdoor big screen.
Fridays feature The Grinch and The Polar Express, while Saturdays bring laughter with Elf and Home Alone.
Guests can view the screening from cabanas, daybeds or turf seating while sipping on seasonal beverages.
Movie nights also offer the opportunity for guests to elevate their evening with The RITZ Alpine Chalet Collection.
Step into an enchanting Alpine escape complete with luxury cabanas and daybeds transformed into private winter chalets. Indulge in s’mores, cheese fondue, charcuterie and Moët & Chandon while watching holiday movies poolside. Choose from Luxe Alpine Escape Chalets, Starlight Mini Chalets or Gilded Glow Hideaways.
Make the evening even more special with lavish add-ons from Bachendorf’s. A Private Jewelry Consultation Chalet Experience includes exclusive access to private jewelry consultations with Bachendorf’s experts and personalized guidance on selecting the perfect piece.
A Romance at The Ritz Chalet is also available, complete with a romantic dinner experience and a special gift from Bachendorf’s.
On Saturday, Dec. 6, the festivities will include extra sparkle and shine with the official Holiday Tree Lighting. Experience the wonder of the season as the 24-foot tree comes to life in a dazzling evening of holiday cheer. Santa will make a grand entrance on horseback, led by a ceremonial march-in by the U.S. Marines, before pressing an oversized button to light the tree.
Guests joining this special celebration are invited to contribute to a toy drive benefitting Toys for Tots while enjoying live music, movies on the big screen, a Bachendorf’s holiday pop-up, a charm bar, s’mores stations, hot cocoa, apple cider, a Moët & Chandon champagne bar and enchanting holiday décor.

Children can delight in visits with the jolly old elf, write letters to The North Pole, participate in a special story time and take home a holiday keepsake gift.
