We've gathered the best free holiday activities and Christmas events in Atlanta happening this season. Let's face it —the holiday season in Atlanta is magical but creating family memories isn't always cheap (like holiday showsphoto keepsakes with Santa, and more). Mommy Poppins to the rescue! There are lots of great FREE Christmas events in Atlanta. Our list has lightings (both menorahs and Christmas trees), festivals, and holiday markets. We even found free places to pose with Santa and drive-thru light shows!
