Believe In Christmas - Calling You Home
Festive fun meet heartfelt delights in this holiday extravaganza. Several decades ago, the big ticket holiday event would have included cozying up in front of the TV to watch a fun Christmas Variety show. The best of these had an undeniable charm that you just can’t find in the holiday programming of today. We recommend taking a break during this hectic season. Have a hot chocolate from our saloon (add some schnapps, after all- it’s Christmas!) bring the entire family and join us for a beautiful, nostalgic evening, as we welcome you home to GCT.
