Freedom Trail Foundation's 2013 Holiday Stroll (Downtown Freedom Trail)

Costumed tour guides in 19th-century Dickensian garb lead visitors along Downtown's historic Freedom Trail. Revisit the days when Boston hosted the triumphant American premiere of Charles Dickens' holiday classic "A Christmas Carol."

Hear the story of how Christmas and holiday traditions evolved in Boston and the highlights of the American Revolution as it happened just 75 years earlier. Round off the tour with hot chocolate, tea or wine, and the famous Boston Cream Pie at the Omni Parker House Hotel.
