Biltmore might just be the most wonderful place to visit during the most wonderful time of year. With decorations galore – 55 hand-decorated trees, 45,000 lights and candles, and so much more – you truly don’t know the meaning of “decking the halls” until you’ve walked the halls of the Biltmore House. This year is extra special, as it’s the 125th anniversary of the first Christmas celebrated at the estate.

Here’s something else worth celebrating: Now through Dec. 21, you can snag an annual pass for just $199. That’s roughly the cost of two basic tickets, so you’d only need to go twice to get your money’s worth. And with 8,000 acres to explore, there’s no way you can experience all of the magic of the historic property in just one day.

In addition to unlimited daytime visits to Biltmore, pass holders receive discounts on tours, tickets for guests, activities, lodging, and shopping. Pro-tip: Take advantage of that at the winery, where you can grab a few bottles of their limited edition Christmas wines to give out as gifts. Or better yet: Gift your loved ones their own annual pass, so you can truthfully say you got them a mansion for Christmas.
