An Ode to Holiday Happiness in Glenwood Springs

  • December 11, 2025

Celebrate winter with our “Twelve Days of Holiday Happiness” in Glenwood Springs, days that include hot springs, skiing, shopping, dining, and festive fun for residents and visitors.

December in Glenwood Springs is magical, so much so that it deserves its own jingle, so we riffed on a favorite holiday tune. Inspired by the classic “Twelve Days of Christmas,” our “Twelve Days of Holiday Happiness” highlights all the ways Glenwood Springs shines in winter. Our song is whimsical and more or less singable, but most of all, it’s your invitation to frolic in the holiday magic that is Glenwood Springs in December.
