This December, Texas holiday traditions come alive with two beloved events celebrating cowboy culture and the spirit of the season: Cocoa with Cowboys in Georgetown and the Texas Cowboys’ Christmas Ball in Anson.

“Cocoa with Cowboys:” A Georgetown Tradition Since 2008

Over the years, it has become a beloved tradition, combining holiday festivities with a nod to Texas cowboy heritage.

Dress Code:
To preserve its historical authenticity, the Ball enforces a strict dress code:

  • Ladies: Dresses required; split skirts or pants are not permitted on the dance floor.
  • Men: Hats must be checked before entering the dance floor.

First held in Pioneer Hall in 1939, the Ball has gained national recognition thanks to Larry Chittenden’s 1890 poem The Cowboys’ Christmas Ball and John Lomax’s 1910 book Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads. Michael Martin Murphey’s music and annual performances have further cemented its legacy.
