Christmas in Dahlonega, Georgia

Make Forrest Hills Your Christmas Home Base

Experience Christmas in Dahlonega

There’s something special about Christmas in Dahlonega. The historic downtown square glows with thousands of lights, holiday decorations fill the streets, and horse-drawn carriages travel through downtown as visitors take in the magic of the season.

And those carriages have a special connection to Forrest Hills Resort. Dahlonega Carriage & Horse Rides, independently owned and operated at Forrest Hills, provides the carriage rides in downtown Dahlonega during the Christmas season.

Spend the evening enjoying the lights, shops and Christmas atmosphere downtown, then return to the peace and quiet of Forrest Hills Resort in the North Georgia mountains, just 13 miles from downtown Dahlonega.
