‘Tis the season to grab your smartphone and start adding events to your calendar, because you don’t want to miss what’s buzzing at Hill Country Galleria.

Christmas is bigger and more Christmas-y than ever at Hill Country Galleria with a new and spectacular Santa’s Wonderland like you’ve never seen before. Santa is so smitten that he wants to stay way out west with us because he doesn’t want to leave his cool new digs. We think he’s going to list his North Pole workshop on Airbnb. Any takers?

If you want to get in the Christmas spirit, head over to Hill Country Galleria for photo ops galore, extended shopping hours, a family fun run, a nightly tree show and more.

In addition to the traditional events, HCG is hosting an exclusive photo shoot with Autism Speaks for children with sensory issues.

It’s time to open your calendar app!

You may remember the mother-and-daughter owned shop, The Wardrobe, located in Revival. When Revival closed its doors for good in 2017, The Wardrobe relocated and officially opened on April 19 at the Gateway to Falconhead.

The Wardrobe is about triple the size of its old location, which was only 850 square feet. The bigger showroom can accommodate more merchandise and more significant items like furniture and lighting, which owners Karen and Danika are excited about.

Shopping at The Wardrobe gives you a casual, yet stylish hometown feeling and reminds you that even in Lake Travis, you can Keep Austin Weird.
