Step into a world where jazz fills the air, beignets are dusted with snowy sugar, and holiday magic dances through the French Quarter. This Christmas, Rockport Tours invites you to unwrap the wonders of New Orleans—one of the most enchanting cities in America—during its most joyful season.
New Orleans at Christmastime feels like a storybook brought to life. Twinkling lights hang from centuries-old balconies, horse-drawn carriages clip-clop down cobblestone streets, and the scent of warm pralines follows you wherever you go. Stroll past grand mansions draped in holiday garlands, explore historic neighborhoods glowing with charm, and let the city’s soulful music wrap around you like a cozy blanket.
This is more than a vacation—it’s a celebration. Sip café au lait under a canopy of lights in Jackson Square. Discover local traditions, like the bonfires along the levee said to light the way for Papa Noël, the Cajun Santa Claus. You’ll see how this city blends its French, Spanish, African, and Creole roots into a holiday like no other.
From dazzling light displays to festive meals that make your taste buds sing, every day of this trip offers something to remember. Whether you're tapping your toes to a brass band or soaking in the beauty of a cathedral filled with candlelight, the spirit of New Orleans will stay with you long after the ornaments are packed away.
So sign up today for this journey that blends Southern hospitality, rich culture, and pure holiday joy. Let Papa Noël guide you to an unforgettable holiday in the heart of Louisiana.
