Prestonwood Baptist Church opens its Christmas season with a tree lighting that brings families together for carols and free hot chocolate. The church describes it as its midweek gathering for all ages that evening.
It is set for Wednesday, November 18, 2026. The church's page does not give a start time or say which campus hosts it; our listing places it at the North Campus on West Prosper Trail. No fee or registration is mentioned.
Parent tip: Because the page leaves out the start time and the campus, confirm both with Prestonwood before you bundle up the kids. The lighting falls a full week before Thanksgiving, so it works as an early kickoff ahead of the busier December calendar.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

The story of Christmas in Prosper
Prosper was almost called Richland, but that name was already taken when the town applied for a post office, so J.C. Slaughter suggested Prosper because the crops that year had been so prosperous. The town now starts its Christmas season before Thanksgiving, with a tree lighting on West Prosper Trail.
How Prosper celebrates
The confirmed 2026 season in Prosper begins on Wednesday, November 18, when Prestonwood Baptist Church holds its Christmas Tree Lighting, which the church calls the official launch of its Christmas season, with carols and free hot chocolate for all ages. In Christmas week, Pinspiration Prosper, a craft studio on North Coleman Street, runs its Christmas Makers Workshop from December 21 to 24, a four-morning camp where kids ages 6 and up make holiday decor and gifts. Wikipedia also notes that Prosper holds an annual Christmas festival, though no organizer page for it was available for this guide.
Fun facts about Christmas in Prosper
The first settlers arrived in 1846 to farm cotton in the black prairie soil. Two early settlements, Rock Hill and Richland, merged when the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad was established in March 1902, and for years Prosper was the central stop on the line between Dallas and Sherman. The town was incorporated in 1914 with a population of 500, and Uncas Norvell Clary, mayor at the time, went on to serve for 49 years. The 2020 census counted 30,174 residents.
