The Elms will open for the holiday season beginning Dec. 7.

"Holidays at The Newport Mansions will feature nearly 30 Christmas trees decorated to complement the décor and theme of rooms in The Breakers, Marble House, The Elms, and Chateau-sur-Mer, with hundreds of poinsettias, garlands, wreaths, and fresh floral arrangements adding color, warmth, and life," the Mansions said.

That will include a 15-foot-tall poinsettia tree — made up of 150 poinsettia plants — in the Great Hall of The Breakers.

Guests are welcome to take photos under the poinsettia tree and there will be a mailbox for letters to Santa Claus in The Breakers Welcome Center. The gift stores in The Breakers, Marble House, The Elms, and Chateau-sur-Mer will be open and stocked for holiday shopping.

"For the fifth straight year, Sparkling Lights at The Breakers will dazzle visitors with a half-mile stroll through an outdoor path of glittering lights and colorful displays as holiday music fills the evening air," according to the Mansions.

There will also be fire pits to enjoy and holiday treats, adult beverages, and s'mores kits availale to purchase at the Breakers' welcome center.
