Christmas in July
Who says you have to wait until December to celebrate Christmas? This summer, embrace the holiday spirit with a Christmas in July getaway to Chickasha, where festive attractions, shopping and family fun make for a memorable weekend.
Day 1: A Very Merry Arrival
No Christmas-themed trip to Chickasha is complete without a visit to the iconic Chickasha Leg Lamp. Standing 50 feet tall, this larger-than-life version of the famous lamp from “A Christmas Story” is a must-see attraction and the perfect backdrop for a selfie. After capturing a Christmas card-worthy photo, take a short stroll to Flower Shop Winery & Pizzeria for lunch. Enjoy handcrafted pizzas and the outdoor patio.
Keep the holiday spirit going with a stay at Ralphie’s House, located just six blocks away. Inspired by “A Christmas Story,” this festive vacation rental features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of holiday cheer.
After getting settled, satisfy your sweet tooth at Rock Island Candy Company. Browse gummies, chocolates and nostalgic treats before Christmas ‘stocking’ up on your favorites.
As evening approaches, enjoy some classic family fun. Test your teamwork at AdventureScape Escape Rooms, where puzzles and challenges offer entertainment for all ages and skill levels. Looking for something a little more nostalgic? Catch a movie under the stars at Chief Drive-In Theatre for a classic experience.

Start your day with a hearty breakfast at J & W Grill, a local favorite serving up classic American breakfast in a nostalgic, old-school diner setting. Fill up on favorites like biscuits and gravy or hot cakes.
After breakfast, get a head start on holiday shopping. Browse local shops like Okie Mountain Trading Co., Perrefitte Home & Gifts and The Southern Blossom Boutique for apparel, jewelry, home décor and unique gifts.
