Christmas in New Orleans

When: December 6-12, 2026

Just the name conjures up fun, food and festivals.  Only a handful of US destinations are so unique and funky.  If you only need one reason to visit New Orleans, it’s the food!  Some of the finest meals of your life are waiting for you in the “Big Easy”—usually served with jazz music.  “Let the Good Times Roll” with Land Cruise in New Orleans. On a recent trip to the Big Easy, our wonderful local guide was describing what things look like at Christmastime and it felt like a no-brainer to give it a go! Let's go experience the food and the fun (and the great weather) of New Orleans at Christmastime!
