This Holiday Home Tour In Iowa Is Pure Hawkeye State Magic

There’s nothing like the Christmas season in Iowa, as it seems like every street corner has been decked in lights and seasonal colors. And for each of us, we can deck the halls in our own homes any way we wish. How many Christmas wonderlands are only seen by the people in that home? There are surely a lot – but in Ankeny, there will be six fewer this year, because they’re opening their doors to the public! The Ankeny Ho Ho Home Tour is back for a 7th year in 2022, and this holiday home tour in Iowa will once again surprise you with how many unique versions of the holiday spirit it has waiting. Every year is a little different, so get your ticket and get ready for a one-of-a-kind Christmas adventure!

This year's Ho Ho Holiday Home Tour is just around the corner! Tickets are $25 and all profits go toward the Wiedenman Family Foundation.

Each year is a mystery, put on by the six houses hosting the tour this year, but let's take a look into past years' beautiful houses.

The odds are that every house you visit will be fully embracing the Christmas spirit, with every inch of their house decked out.

You'll see a tree, of course - but you never know if it'll be small or tall, rustic or flashy, simple or colorful. And that's part of the fun!

It feels like stepping into someone else's picturesque Christmas, with the table set for a memorable family meal.

Of course, the odds are good that "the stockings are hung by the chimney with care" as if in anticipation of an upcoming visitor.

The decorations will be different at every house, some hand-crafted by the owners of the house. And don't worry if they make you hungry!

Every house puts out its own menu of appetizers, snacks, or desserts - so come a little hungry, because you'll want to try every one!

How do you know which house is your next step? Look for the houses that are beaming their holiday spirit across the whole neighborhood in bright lights.
