Saddle Up for the Holiday Spirit: Cowboy Christmas 2025

Get ready to embrace festive flair with a western twist! The much-anticipated Cowboy Christmas 2025 — the official gift show of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) — is heading back to Las Vegas from December 4 – 13, 2025, open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Las Vegas Convention Center, South Hall.

What to Expect

  • Over 500,000 square feet of show floor and more than 375 exhibitors showcasing everything from custom jewelry and handmade western gear to original art, furniture, boots and spurs.
  • Engaging experiences beyond shopping: the Ariat Rodeo Live Stage will feature daily shows including “Storme Session”, “Mic Drop”, and more.
  • A festive section called Cowboy Christmas Village with photo walls, a 12-foot Christmas tree, Santa visits (11 a.m.-2 p.m.), and holiday décor.
  • For fans of rodeo action: the YETI Junior National Finals Rodeo will be staged in a specially-built tent across from the Convention Center.
  • Free admission! (Yes, you read that right.) Entry to Cowboy Christmas is free.

Why It’s a Must-Do

Whether you’re a rodeo die-hard, western-wear enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique holiday experience, this event ticks all the boxes. It merges the energy of the NFR with high-quality retail and festive ambiance. And because it’s timed with one of the biggest events in the western lifestyle calendar, the buzz and “cowboy Christmas” atmosphere are unmistakable.

Pro Tips for Your Visit

  • Go early in the day: with thousands of visitors, arriving at or soon after 9 a.m. will give you optimal browsing.
  • Bring a carry bag or plan for shipping: with so many artisan pieces, boots, and home goods, you’ll likely want to pick up treasures.
  • Hit the live-stage events: check the schedule for times and plan around them to catch special presentations or shows.
  • Parking/transport: Las Vegas can be crowded during NFR season — budget extra time for parking or ride-share.
  • Mix business with fun: Even if shopping isn’t your main goal, soak in the ambience — the western décor, music, and photo spots make for great memories.

Final Word

Whether you’re looking to check off holiday shopping from your list, dive into western fashion, or immerse yourself in the rodeo-holiday fusion, Cowboy Christmas 2025 promises a bold, spirited experience. So dig out your boots and hat, mark the dates, and get ready for a festive roundup like no other.
