🌲✨ Festival of Trees Brings Holiday Magic — and Big Heart — to Chateau Nouvelle

HOUSTON – If you’re ready to step straight into a Hallmark movie (with a Houston twist), ChĆ¢teau Nouvelle is serving major holiday magic this season with its annual Festival of Trees - a sparkling celebration that blends dazzling dĆ©cor with a mission to support local families.

The luxury French-inspired estate in Champions Forest area transforms into a winter wonderland, packed with elaborately decorated trees, festive experiences, and plenty of heart. But behind the twinkling lights is an even brighter purpose: giving back to the community through Love for a Lifetime, the nonprofit benefiting from this year’s festival.

šŸŽ„ What Is ChĆ¢teau Nouvelle?

If you haven’t visited yet, ChĆ¢teau Nouvelle is a grand, European-style event venue tucked away in North Houston. Think sweeping staircases, chandeliers, and gardens that feel transported from a French countryside manor. It’s known for weddings, black-tie galas, and community events - and during the holidays, it becomes a stage for giving.

šŸ’› About Love for a Lifetime

Love for a Lifetime exists to provide married couples with the fundamental elements needed for an enjoyable, lifelong marriage. ā€œOur heart is to see marriages in Houston and beyond wholly restored for God’s glory. We do this through hosting Date Nights and Dinners with a Purpose. Our Festival of Trees event serves as the giving arm of our ministry — where we select different beneficiaries each year. This year’s beneficiaries are Love Fosters Hope and Mighty Oaks Foundation," say Laura and Shawn Sparks.
