Situated only half an hour away from Dallas’ skyline, Celina sits right in the center of North Texas’s most popular hot spots. Our location puts us right in the sweet spot of the Big D’s very best entertainment and all the small town Texas charm you could ever need. Since the festive season seems to keep starting earlier we decided to put together a curated list of the top 5 things to do this holiday season in North Texas.
