The Newport mansions are famous around the world for being gorgeous all year long, but at Christmas they take on a special kind of magic. This year, visit the mansions in their full glory for holiday memories your family will look back on for years to come.

Each year, three of the most magnificent Newport mansions – the Breakers, The Elms, and Marble House – are bedecked with holiday trees, ornaments, and cheer and opened to the public for festive tours.
