Holidays at the Newport Mansions
Beginning Nov. 21, Holidays at the Newport Mansions will bring seasonal decorations to The Breakers, Marble House, The Elms and Chateau-sur-Mer.
The four National Historic Landmark houses will feature nearly 30 Christmas trees decorated to complement each room’s décor and theme, along with hundreds of poinsettias, garlands, wreaths, fresh floral arrangements and other holiday decorations.
The family favorite 15-foot-tall poinsettia tree in the Great Hall of The Breakers — made up of 150 poinsettia plants — will return. A mailbox for letters to Santa Claus will be available in The Breakers Welcome Center, and gift stores at The Breakers, Marble House and The Elms will be open for holiday shopping.

Sparkling Lights at The Breakers
For the sixth consecutive year, Sparkling Lights at The Breakers will feature a half-mile outdoor path of glittering lights and colorful displays accompanied by holiday music.
Twenty-five thousand more lights will be added this year. The south parterre garden will feature an illuminated pergola and a display that suggests a water fountain. Guests can warm up at fire pits and purchase holiday treats and adult beverages on the back terrace and at The Breakers Welcome Center.
Admission to Sparkling Lights at The Breakers requires a special ticket with a specific date and entry time, and includes interior access to The Breakers during the same visit. Tour times are 4, 4:30, 5, 5:30 and 6 p.m. The gates close at 6:30 p.m. and the house and grounds close at 8 p.m.
