WHERE TO FIND THE BEST HOLIDAY AND CHRISTMAS LIGHTS IN DFW
I want to highlight 23 great Christmas lights displays from my colleague Alyson Rodriguez, and you can find that story on DallasNews.com/Holidays.
I wrote about the lights in Highland Park Village, which feel to me like the quintessential winter wonderland in Dallas. More than 100 trees are covered with lights. Anyone looking for a Christmas experience can shop or eat in Highland Park Village around dusk, as the Christmas lights turn on every evening around 5:15. It's quite a spectacle.

MIXTITOS IN EAST DALLAS CLOSES FOR GOOD
Mixtitos, the Mexican-Japanese fusion restaurant in East Dallas that has been open since 2022 but hit hard times in May of 2024, has closed for good.
The owners asked the community for support, and they delivered, basically saving the restaurant from closure by showing up and buying dinner, which is the simplest way to keep a restaurant afloat. Unfortunately, business got slow again for Mixtitos this fall and it was finally the end. The restaurant closed a few days ago.
GROOVY SEAGER & SONS RESTAURANT TO OPEN NEXT WEEK
How about some groovy news? A 1970s-theme restaurant called Seager & Sons opens Dec. 10, 2024. The restaurant at Boardwalk at Granite Park that's near State Highway 21 & the Dallas North Tollway in Plano. It will feature pizza and fried chicken. I think anything 1970s-themed sounds like a ton of fun, and I can't wait to try out this restaurant.
