Linda Gray Reveals Her Dallas Holiday Traditions
Think of this as a holiday bucket list crafted by a devoted Sue Ellen Ewing fan. Dallas star and newly appointed city ambassador Linda Gray shares how she enjoys the festive season in the Big D.
Gift Shopping and Splurging
Every trip to Dallas deserves a stop at Neiman Marcus, especially during the holidays. Pair it with lunch at The Zodiac to taste their seasonal buffet and make the day truly special.
The Bishop Arts District offers charming small‑business shops where you can find unique gifts for family and friends. Walking through the neighborhood is always a delight.
Family Holiday Weekend in Dallas
A few years back, when I was living in Dallas for the reboot, my children and grandchildren visited. We headed straight from the airport to Eatzi’s for an informal early dinner, then strolled through Highland Park Village*. The lights transform the area into a festive wonderland.
Favorite Holiday Traditions
As an outdoor enthusiast, I cherish the holiday events at the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Garden. It’s a favorite spot any time of year, but the seasonal décor is truly magical. Living in the Arts District during the reboot, I also love spending evenings in Klyde Warren Park, where holiday lights create a cozy atmosphere.
Taking a Break from Holiday Hoopla
A French‑inspired meal at Mercat Bistro in Harwood always satisfies my culinary cravings. I recently dined at Overeasy at The Statler Hotel—its breakfast menu offers healthy, delicious options. For a touch of holiday magic, try Savor at Klyde Warren Park; the illuminated views of the park add a cheerful vibe.
