Christmas at the Caverns will return to Natural Bridge Caverns on Dec. 5, opening a run of select nights through Dec. 23 as the attraction marks a decade of support for local food banks.

The Christmas event community has helped provide 1.3 million meals during the 10-year partnership with the New Braunfels and San Antonio food banks, according to Natural Bridge Caverns.

A portion of every ticket sold benefits the food bank. Guests can also bring a canned food item to receive a free s’mores kit.

What returns for the 2026 event

Caroling in the Cavern brings local and regional performers into the Discovery Cavern. Above ground, the lineup includes the Trail of Lights, visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus, skating, campfires and a search for Santa’s missing reindeer.
