We’re dreaming of a White Christmas a little early this year. 🎄✨

For generations, White Christmas and Holiday Inn have been part of the holidays. Movies watched with parents. Songs remembered from grandparents. Traditions passed from one generation to the next.

This year, a rare piece of that history is coming to the Mahoning Valley.

The 18th annual Memories of Christmas Past returns November 14 through December 31, featuring White Christmas: The Exhibition, with rare original costumes and artifacts connected to White Christmas, Holiday Inn, and the Irving Berlin legacy.

And that’s only part of the experience.

✨ The beloved Crystal Tree returns
🎄 19th Century Christmas
🌎 Nativities From Around the World

Yes, we know it’s only August. But opening is less than 12 weeks away, and this is one holiday season you’ll want on your calendar.

Come make new memories while experiencing a little piece of holiday history.
