Philly's Walnut Garden transforms into a winter wonderland. Here's what to expect

NBC Universal, Inc.

Walnut Garden is now “Walnut Wonderland” from now until the end of the year. 

The holiday spirit is spreading throughout Center City, and now Walnut Garden, a lush urban oasis, has transformed into "Walnut Wonderland."

This seasonal activation in the Rittenhouse neighborhood kicked off Wednesday with a tree-lighting ceremony and a visit from Santa Claus.

From now through the end of the year, visitors can enjoy this urban holiday cocktail garden festooned with lights and holiday décor, a 22-foot tree -- that has space for standing inside it -- a warming tent with two televisions and a special holiday menu with warm treats, hearty eats, steamy holiday beverages, and an on-site tree farm.
