An Enchanted Noel
November 20 – January 3
Daytime Hours: 9 AM – 3:30 PM
Evening Hours: 4:30 – 10 PM
This year, Cheekwood’s Historic Mansion itself becomes the storyteller, guiding visitors through Un Noël Enchanté (an Enchanted Noel), a French-inspired journey of holiday traditions, design, and gardens. Conceived by Holiday Artistic Director Laura Dowling and Guest Designer Mauricio Clavero Kozlowski, each room presents a distinct French-inspired experience, from grand château celebrations and Versailles-inspired elegance to intimate salons, romantic garden retreats, and the pastoral charm of Marie-Antoinette’s Hameau.
While we can’t reveal every surprise, don’t miss the spectacular vintage-inspired hot air balloon handcrafted by Studio Cera Marie. Suspended above the Loggia, its blue-and-white striped canopy evokes the adventurous spirit of Belle Époque Paris that inspired artists and dreamers alike!
