Celebrate the holiday season with SignaTours as we travel to Fredericksburg, Virginia, to the Riverside Center for the Performing Arts for a wonderful lunch and afternoon musical.  A Christmas Carol: The Musical is a spectacular adaptation of Charles Dickens' most well-known story.  Ebenezer Scrooge is a prosperous curmudgeon who believes that personal wealth is far more valuable than the happiness and comfort of others. With an infuriated "Bah! Humbug!" Scrooge summates his feelings of Christmas tidings and charitable giving, but he's forced to face his selfish ways when three ghosts on Christmas Eve lead him through his Past, Present and Future. Thanks to their guidance, Scrooge recognizes his faults and greets Christmas morning with a cheerful "Happy Christmas" before spending the day reconnecting and sharing love with those that mean the most to him.

Enjoy a Three-course, Plated Lunch before the matinee begins.  The perfect way to celebrate the holiday season with friends and family!

Celebrate the holidays in Richmond with a three course, plated Lunch at The Jefferson Hotel, a luxury property known not only for its incredible beauty and history, but also for its fine service and culinary expertise. As Richmond’s premier hotel, The Jefferson takes pride in its reputation as Richmond’s leader in the city’s tradition of gracious hospitality. It is in the National Register of Historic Places and is a charter member of the distinguished Historic Hotels of America. The Jefferson is one of only 31 hotels in North America to hold both the Mobil Five Star award and the AAA Five Diamond award. It will be beautifully decorated for the season, including their signature Christmas tree in the lobby.

This afternoon, enjoy a holiday matinee production at “A Christmas Carol” at the November Theatre in Richmond.  After its hit run in 2025, Virginia Repertory’s A Christmas Carol returns! Experience the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge, as he’s visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future—and rediscovers the joy and true meaning of the Holiday season.

Gaining in popularity year after year, it is now a top seller and an annual SignaTours holiday event! The music changes each year, making the show an original production each Holiday Season! The National Cathedral is a stunning place to visit any time of year, but during the Christmas season and the events surrounding the holidays, there is simply not a better time to visit. Join us for D.C.’s favorite Christmas tradition as the National Cathedral Choral Society presents… “Joy of Christmas.” Hear voices soar under the Cathedral’s arches and stained-glass windows, delighting hearts of all ages with brand-new and classic holiday carols. With its lofty ceilings and beautiful chamber, the ambience and the sounds of the season are unmatched with any other location. There’s really no better place to feel the true spirit of Christmas than in the National Cathedral.

Before the afternoon show, a delicious lunch is planned at The Chart House located in Old Town Alexandria, offering scenic views of the Potomac River.

SignaTours plans to end the holiday travel season on a high (and bright) note with our annual “100 Miles of Lights” Tour! This year we travel to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens for their Garden of Lights Display.   A 30-minute Tram Ride is included taking you through this award-winning holiday lights display.  Immerse yourself in more than 1.5 million twinkling lights. It’s a magical experience like no other in Coastal Virginia with more lights and more surprises! Once the tram ride is complete, you’ll have time to explore on your own and visit their fabulous gift shop.

We will then travel to Newport News to City Center at Oyster Point.  This upscale shopping and restaurant area is worth the visit during the holiday season to see their nightly choreographed, state-of-the-art light show where their 50 Christmas tree and surrounding pixel-wrapped trees are synchronized to music. Dinner is included while here the Cove Tavern.  As we work our way back to Richmond this evening, prepare for another amazing light show at the Newport News Celebration in Lights known historically as Virginia’s first drive through holiday lights event.  Amazing!
