Ready for that festive Christmas girl trip? Time to get in the car and head out to St. Louis. You will start in the morning with an incredible weekend ahead; your check-in at the Four Seasons is at 4:00 pm.

Once you arrive, you will take a short walk to Union Station to explore the holiday pop-up shops and decorations while grabbing a casual lunch at the Train Shed. There they have inspired plates that range from shareable finger foods and pizzas to unbearably good burgers, sandwiches and entrées.

For the afternoon, you will visit the Winter Wonderland at Tilles Park and have a blast exploring the enchanting light displays and taking our group selfies by the giant Christmas tree. You can sip on hot cocoa and browse the unique boutiques and gift shops in the Central West End neighborhood, too.

Once you are done, you can head back to The Four Seasons and have a festive dinner at Cinder House and indulge in their seasonal menu while enjoying the lively atmosphere.
