Merry & Bright Girls Christmas Weekend in Downtown McKinney
A Christmas weekend at The Bingham Estate in Historic Downtown McKinney
Gather your girls, pack your Christmas pajamas, and come spend a weekend at The Bingham Estate. With historic downtown McKinney just steps away, your weekend can be filled with Christmas shopping, good food, afternoon tea, historic homes, and plenty of time back at the Bingham to simply pause.
Friday — Check In & Get Merry
Afternoon
Arrive at The Bingham Estate and settle into your cottage or Main House suite.
Take a walk through the property, unpack, and make yourself at home. Put on your Christmas pajamas, pour a glass of wine, and enjoy a little time together before heading downtown.
Evening
Walk into Historic Downtown McKinney for dinner and an evening of Christmas lights, shopping and strolling around the Square.
Come back to The Bingham for a cozy night in with your girls.
Friday Night at the Bingham
Christmas pajamas • dessert • music • catching up • staying up too late
Saturday — Christmas in McKinney
Morning
Start the morning slowly at The Bingham.
Coffee on the porch. A walk around the estate. Maybe a little pickleball before the day begins.
Then head into downtown for breakfast or brunch and a morning of Christmas shopping. Historic Downtown McKinney is filled with locally owned shops, restaurants and holiday events throughout the season.
Afternoon Tea at The Bingham
Come back to the estate for an afternoon Christmas tea.
Gather around the table in the Tea Room, enjoy tea and festive bites, and take your time. This is the part of the weekend where nobody needs to be anywhere else.
Christmas Afternoon
Head back downtown for more shopping and Christmas wandering—or stay at The Bingham.
Take a dip in the pool, play a game of pickleball, gather around the table for Mahjong, or simply sit on the porch and enjoy the afternoon.
Evening
Freshen up and head downtown for dinner.
Afterward, stroll the Square and take in the Christmas lights before returning to The Bingham for one more night together.
Sunday — A Little More Christmas
Morning
Sleep in.
Enjoy coffee, breakfast and one last slow morning at The Bingham.
Then head to Chestnut Square for the Holiday Tour of Homes, a McKinney Christmas tradition featuring historic homes decorated for the season. The 2026 Holiday Tour of Homes takes place December 5–6.
Before You Go
Stop for lunch or one last treat downtown, then head home with shopping bags, Christmas pictures, and a weekend's worth of memories.
And probably a plan to do it again next year.
Your Christmas Weekend at The Bingham
Stay together.
10 rooms across six private cottages and the historic Main House, with space for up to 20 guests.
