Foxwoods Casino Christmas & New Year’s Plans

It’s the most wonderful time of the year at Foxwoods Casino, and this year they are unveiling an exciting lineup that will welcome guests of all ages to experience the Wonder of It All this holiday season. The resort’s holiday season kicks off with the longstanding Foxwoods tradition, the annual Christmas Tree Lighting. Taking place on Saturday, December 2nd, the event will feature live performances, seasonal treats and a special celebrity appearance.

Foxwoods’ beloved Ice Rink and Winter Terrace will also be opening back up to the public, allowing guests to make their way around the ice while basking in the glow of thousands of holiday lights, and warm up from the cold in Foxwoods’ village of cozy, pop-up themed igloos. Restaurants across Foxwoods will offer specially-crafted dinner menus, only available during the Christmas season. Guests will have the opportunity to surround themselves with thousands of ornaments, glittering lights and festive décor at Cedars Steak & Oysters, or enjoy seasonal menu items at Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen.

Guests of the Foxwoods Casino looking for a more unique experience can look no further than The Holidays Are a Drag, a drag queen extravaganza taking place Saturday, December 16 at Centrale. Connecticut drag queens Jolina Jasmine, Mia E. Z’lay, Natalia Fierce and Kenya Mone Heart will be serving up holiday classics for the occasion through show-stopping numbers, fierce fashion and a touch of glitter.

Finally, Foxwoods Casino is partnering with the United Way and the Tommy Toy Fund for the annual Stuff The Bus, which provides new toys, stuffed animals and gift cards for children in Southeastern Connecticut who receive few or no holiday gifts. Beginning Friday, November 10 through Friday, December 8, collection boxes will be located by the elevator bays on the casino level of the following: Bingo Hall, Great Cedar Garage, Grand Pequot Tower South in front of Cedars, and The Fox Tower.

From 26 December through 28 December, families can keep their children entertained at Foxwoods with Kids/Teen Week all winter break. Events include movie screenings, arts & crafts, interactive video game experiences and more. And to ring in 2024, Foxwoods Casino is hosting its annual New Year’s Eve Bash on December 31, where guests can dance and celebrate the New Year all night long. Foxwoods will be offering drink specials leading up to the Midnight Ball Drop.
