Linden Christmas Tour

Highlights

Description

Step into the festive embrace of Linden — one of Natchez’s most beloved antebellum homes — where Christmas nostalgia and Southern grace come together in a joyful celebration of Santa Claus. Built in the early 1800s and now a cherished bed and breakfast, Linden transforms each December into a glittering world of holiday delight. Every room bursts with creativity and warmth, featuring an astonishing collection of Santa figures, jolly Kringles, and St. Nicks displayed among garlands, ribbons, and antique furnishings. The grand dining room gleams with heirloom china and polished silver; the parlor sparkles with a towering Christmas tree and a handcrafted nativity scene resting atop the grand piano. Guests are invited to sip warm spiced tea, sample freshly baked gingerbread cookies, and linger by the glow of the tree lights while stories of Linden’s holiday traditions are shared. Outside, the sweeping galleries overlook grounds draped in seasonal greenery, offering a peaceful glimpse of Christmas past. This enchanting experience captures the heart of the Natchez Christmas Pilgrimage — part history, part homecoming, and wholly magical. Whether you’re a lover of Southern hospitality or a collector of holiday memories, Linden’s Santa-filled halls are sure to leave you smiling and inspired.
