This campground weekend strings together Christmas activities with Yogi Bear, Boo Boo and Cindy Bear. Saturday's schedule has kids writing letters to Santa and mixing reindeer food, hunting for Santa's lost sleigh bell, shaping and baking salt dough ornaments, and settling in for story time with Yogi Bear. The page also promises a visit from Santa, cocoa, carols and lights across the campground.
It runs December 11 to 13, 2026 at Jellystone Park Austin North. Friday starts at 6:00 p.m. with bear visits, Candy Bar Bingo at 7:00 and a free Glow Wagon ride at 8:00, and Saturday's activities begin at 9:00 a.m. The event is for park guests with no event price listed; most activities are marked free, while bingo, private bear visits, ceramics and tie-dye cost extra.
Parent tip: Bring full-sized candy bars from home, since each one you trade in gets you a bingo card. If your child wants a private visit with Yogi Bear, book it at the Ranger Station before 4:30 p.m. on Friday.

The last Christmas Wonderland Weekend before the holiday follows the same pattern as the one before it. Saturday opens with guests making noise to wake up the bears, then moves through a ride around the park, letters to Santa and reindeer food, a scavenger hunt for Santa's lost sleigh bell and salt dough ornaments. Santa is due for a visit, and the campground is strung with lights.
The weekend is December 18 to 20, 2026 at Jellystone Park Austin North on Ronald Reagan Boulevard. Friday begins at 6:00 p.m. with bear visits, bingo and the Glow Wagon, and Saturday starts at 9:00 a.m. It is open to park guests, with pricing shown as N/A, and the schedule marks most activities free and a few, such as Candy Bar Bingo and ceramics painting, as paid.
Parent tip: Salt dough ornaments are made at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday and have to bake, so plan to come back after the 4:00 p.m. story time with Yogi Bear to collect yours. This weekend ends five days before Christmas, so letters to Santa are cutting it close.

The story of Christmas in Georgetown
Georgetown is known as the Red Poppy Capital of Texas, for the red poppy wildflowers planted throughout the city and the April festival held on its historic square.

Through November, about 15 decorated trees and 20 custom wreaths made by local businesses, nonprofits and organizations go on display at the Sheraton and a few places around town. The run ends on November 28, 2026 with an auction, a raffle and holiday activities for children at the Sheraton Austin Georgetown Hotel & Conference Center. In December, Jellystone Park Austin North on Ronald Reagan Boulevard holds Christmas Wonderland Weekends on December 11 to 13 and 18 to 20, with Yogi Bear, letters to Santa, salt dough ornaments, carols, cocoa and lights throughout the campground.

Questions about Christmas in Georgetown
How did Georgetown, Texas get its name?
Georgetown was named for George Washington Glasscock, who donated the land for the new town. Early American and Swedish pioneers were drawn to the area by its timber, its good, clear water and its inexpensive, fertile land.
When was Georgetown founded?
The Wikipedia article does not give a single founding year for the city. It does say Georgetown is the seat of Williamson County, which was formed on March 13, 1848 after early settlers petitioned the state legislature to create it from part of Milam County.
When did the railroad come to Georgetown?
A railroad was built in 1878 and helped the town grow. Georgetown was once served by two national railroads, the International-Great Northern and the Missouri-Kansas-Texas, which carried cattle and cotton to market. Today the Georgetown Railroad, a short line, connects with the Union Pacific at Round Rock and Granger.
Why is Georgetown called the Red Poppy Capital of Texas?
The name comes from the red poppy wildflowers planted throughout the city. Georgetown holds its Red Poppy Festival each April on the historic square, and the festival draws tens of thousands of visitors a year.
