How Meow Wolf’s Unreal Winter brings art, adventure and holiday magic to Grapevine this year

All the ways you and your family can enjoy Meow Wolf’s Unreal Winter this holiday season

This December, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex will be able to enjoy a whirlwind of creativity, imagination and seasonal cheer at Meow Wolf Grapevine. Welcome to Unreal Winter, a one-of-a-kind holiday event that combines the magic of the season with the boundary-pushing artistry that Meow Wolf is known for.

From Dec. 1-21, visitors of all ages will be transported into a winterized version of The Real Unreal, where art and holiday enchantment collide.

Unreal Winter is the ultimate gift for the holidays,” said Kelly Schwartz, general manager of Meow Wolf Grapevine. “We’ve created an experience full of wonder and connection that only Meow Wolf can deliver. It’s the perfect way to celebrate connection, creativity and curiosity.”

What does Unreal Winter have to offer for families?

Unreal Winter is an immersive journey into a world where the art of winter is reimagined through the lens of the Meow Wolf multiverse. It’s a celebration of the holiday season like no other, where the surreal and the holiday spirit blend together to create a vibrant harmony of color, sound, and interactive magic.

  • Unreal Winter Quest is a multiversal treasure hunt included with admission. A series of riddles will guide guests through The Real Unreal, where hidden artifacts, playful encounters and clues to your own “Winter Essence” await. 
  • The Winter Workshops at the Matt King Mystery Center are a must. They allow you to craft everything from snowflake garlands to bobblehead snowmen and tin ornaments. A $7 add-on fee gives you the materials and guidance you need.
  • Themed Art Jams offer a fun and interactive way to celebrate the season. These family-friendly events included with admission are all about letting creativity flow — and snowball! Music, dance, and hands-on art activities create an environment where everyone can make something uniquely their own. 

Adulti-Verses: Festive fun for the 21 and older crowd

Unreal Winter isn’t just for families — it’s also a playground for adults. Meow Wolf Grapevine is hosting a series of Themed Adulti-Verses designed for guests 21 and older. On Dec. 5, wear your most outrageous sweater for the Ugly Sweater Night, or get dressed to impress for the Winter Ball on Dec. 12. Both events feature live DJs, festive specialty cocktails and a party that will elevate your holiday spirit. 

As the year draws to a close, the Unreal Winter experience will close with a New Year’s Eve celebration for adults. This is the final Adulti-Verse of the season and guests can expect live entertainment, art and a midnight toast to ring in 2025 — all set in the ever-evolving world of Meow Wolf.

A festive holiday escape

Whether you’re looking for a holiday escape, a chance to create something unique or simply a festive way to spend time with loved ones, Unreal Winter offers something for everyone. With an array of immersive activities, family-friendly fun and vibrant themed events, it’s a holiday experience that will ignite the imagination and bring people together in ways you’ve never experienced before.
