Sleigh Bells, Shopping Bags, and Virginia Breeze: Your Holiday Adventure Awaits!

The holiday season is upon us, and there’s no better way to jingle all the way to your favorite festive destinations than with Virginia Breeze Bus Lines! Whether you’re on a mission to find the perfect gift, sip on something warm (with maybe a little too much whipped cream), or marvel at more lights than your neighbor’s over-the-top display, we’ve got you covered. Let’s ho-ho-hop on board and explore how each route delivers holiday cheer.

DC’s Holiday Extravaganza

Hop on the Virginia Breeze and glide into DC’s festive frenzy! Start your adventure at the Downtown Holiday Market, where you can shop for unique gifts while performing the delicate balancing act of holding hot cider in one hand and a bag of kettle corn in the other (it’s a holiday workout). Next, stroll over to the National Christmas Tree and bask in a century-old American tradition. Pro tip: Hunt for Virginia’s ornament—it’s like a holiday-themed scavenger hunt, but with more bragging rights!

Bristol’s Decked-Out Speedway

For a holiday experience that’s equal parts small-town charm and full-throttle festive, ride the Highlands Rhythm to Bristol. Join the fun in downtown Bristol for the annual Christmas parade, then buckle up for the Speedway in Lights It’s like driving through a holiday mixtape, with giant reindeer and glittering candy canes lighting up the night.

Staunton’s Hallmark Movie Vibes

Step off the Valley Flyer in Staunton, and you’ll swear you’ve just stumbled into a Hallmark movie. Kick things off at the Queen City Christkindlmarkt where you can browse European-inspired goodies while debating whether you really need another hand-carved ornament (spoiler: you do). Then, head over to the American Shakespeare Center for their spin on A Christmas Carol.

Richmond’s Festive Flair

Richmond takes holiday cheer as seriously as Santa takes his cookie intake. Catch the Capital Connector and head to Carytown where you can shop till you drop—or at least until your gift list is halfway done and you’ve treated yourself to a little “me gift.”. Afterward, brighten your night (literally) with a trip to the GardenFest of Lights at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. But if you really want to experience Richmond in all its festive glory, book a Tacky Lights Tour. It’s a citywide competition to see who can fit the most inflatable snowmen, blinking reindeer, and synchronized light shows on one lawn—and trust us, the stakes are high and the wattage higher.

Travel in Comfort and Style

Why deal with holiday traffic when you could kick back on a Virginia Breeze bus? With comfy seats, free Wi-Fi, and plenty of space for your holiday haul, it’s like riding in Santa’s sleigh—if Santa had a fleet of modern, eco-friendly motorcoaches.
