For nearly five decades, the Christmas Showcase has been a go-to destination for holiday shopping in San Antonio. The show floor features 300+ vendor booths offering everything from handmade crafts and boutique fashion to gourmet foods and festive home décor.
Browse through artisan jewelry, cozy apparel, seasonal wreaths, personalized ornaments, and Texas-made specialties like brittle, jerky, and local wines. The variety means you can check off your gift list in one visit while finding something special for yourself too.
Each year, local small businesses and makers bring their creativity to the floor, offering one-of-a-kind finds you won’t see anywhere else. Whether you love browsing handmade ornaments or sampling holiday sweets, every booth adds to the magic of the season.

It’s not just about the shopping. Guests can take photos with Santa and the Grinch, enjoy live piano music by Mr. Downtown, and savor delicious bites from local food vendors. Bring your friends, your family, or your favorite shopping buddy and spend the day surrounded by holiday cheer.
Presented by Thomas J. Henry, the showcase captures everything there is to love about the season, from shopping and community to celebration, all under one roof.
