This past weekend, the Dr Pepper Museum was filled with holiday cheer as we welcomed over 1,150 community members for A Dr Pepper Christmas. This free, family-friendly celebration was the perfect opportunity to spread holiday cheer, offering fun and memorable experiences for guests of all ages.

Attendees enjoyed festive holiday activities that highlighted the Museum’s unique charm, including a special visit from Santa for photos and warm wishes. Guests got creative at the arts and crafts station, making reindeer headbands, snowman ornaments, and letters to Santa.

The evening’s highlights included our signature holiday experiences, Make-A-Soda and Taste-A-Soda. Guests had a blast crafting custom holiday sodas with six seasonal syrup flavors and deciphering holiday flavors mixed into These interactive activities were a sweet way to celebrate the season and participate in the museum’s add-on experiences offered throughout the year with a holiday twist.

Adding to the excitement, this year’s event coincided with the unveiling of our newly renovated exhibit, Wilton’s Landing. This refreshed space tells the story of convenience store development, spotlighting the contributions of underrepresented voices in shaping this vital part of everyday life.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us to make this event such a success. Events like A Dr Pepper Christmas are only possible thanks to the ongoing support of our community, visitors, and sponsors. A special thank you goes out to our generous sponsors, H-E-B and Premier ER + Urgent Care for their help to make this year’s event as memorable as possible.
