Frisco Resort Launches Holiday Season with Cocktails and Cowboy Santa

Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa has opened its holiday season with a schedule that balances family entertainment with adult-only social events. The district will host activities starting in late November and continuing through the end of the year.

Blitzen’s, a Christmas-themed pop-up bar, will occupy Lounge by Topgolf from November 13 through January 3. The bar features seasonal decorations, festive snacks, and a cocktail menu designed by Julie Reiner, a New York City mixologist and judge on Netflix’s Drink Masters. The menu includes eight seasonal drinks, such as the Espress-Ho Ho Martini, The Blitzen, and the Va-Va-Vixen. Zero-proof options are available for those who do not drink alcohol. The venue is open to the public without requiring a hotel stay.

For those who prefer tequila, Merry Margaritas Mixology Classes with Casamigos will be held on November 28 and December 5, 12, and 19 from 1 to 2 p.m. These sessions include a brief introduction to tequila and hands-on instruction for making three specific margaritas: The Classic, The Holiday Cider, and The Cranberry. Tickets cover the cocktails, light bites, a take-home gift, and validated valet parking. Participants must be at least 21 years old.

Families with younger children can attend Home on The Range for The Holidays on November 28 and December 5, 12, and 19 from 5 to 8 p.m. The PGA District will host visits with real reindeer, rides on the Fields Ranch Holiday Express Train, and mini golf. Children can write letters to Santa and receive complimentary photos with Cowboy Santa at his Ranch House. Each evening at 6 p.m., Cowboy Santa will participate in a Christmas tree lighting ceremony before a holiday movie plays on the outdoor video wall. A 12-minute holiday drone show is scheduled for November 28.

The holiday festivities begin on November 27 with a free concert by Limelight Band, a subgroup of the Dallas-based Emerald City Band. The concert runs from 6 to 8 p.m. and features popular songs and Christmas favorites. Guests may bring lawn blankets, but lawn chairs and outside food and beverages are not allowed. Leashed dogs are welcome.

On December 4, the Dashing Through the District Holiday Market will run from 4 to 8 p.m. Vendors will sell handmade gifts and holiday treats. The Holly Jolly Movie Nights series will show The Polar Express on December 11 and A Christmas Story on December 18. Both films begin at 7 p.m. with restaurants open before and after the screenings.

The resort is also offering Holiday Hideaway at Bluestem Pool from November 28 through December 31 on Thursdays through Saturdays. Private cabanas will be decorated to resemble ski chalets with blankets and winter-themed decorations. Guests can reserve a cabana for a bottle of bubbly, seasonal food, and cocktails between 4 and 10 p.m. Overnight packages are available, including the Naughty or Nice Holiday Package from November 15 through December 31 and Santa’s Landing from November 14 through January 3.
