Mashantucket, CT (October 28, 2025) – Foxwoods Resort Casino unveils its 2025 “A Season Like No Other” lineup — its annual slate of holiday festivities — headlined by the debut of Christmas by Martha Stewart. The immersive holiday décor experience, curated by Martha Stewart, transforms the Grand Pequot Tower lobby and sets a festive tone across the property. Complementing the debut, the season-long lineup also features marquee moments, including Jessica Simpson hosting and performing at Foxwoods’ annual Christmas Tree Lighting on December 6. With these exclusive experiences and more, Foxwoods cements its status as the region’s must-visit holiday destination.

 

“Foxwoods offers a remarkable canvas for Christmas by Martha Stewart. My vision was to transform the Grand Pequot Lobby into an immersive experience you can only find at Foxwoods, designed for lingering, exploring, and discovering subtle, beautiful details at every turn,” said Martha Stewart. “This is the first chapter of the story we’re telling here, one that continues with the opening of The Bedford by Martha Stewart next spring.”

 

Beginning on November 14, guests will step into a lobby reimagined by Martha Stewart’s holiday aesthetic. The design is a preview of what’s to come with the spring 2026 opening of The Bedford by Martha Stewart at Foxwoods. Season Like No Other festivities officially kick off on Saturday, November 29, launching a full calendar of seasonal events.
