MADISONVILLE, TX / October 21, 2026 / Fill the travel mugs, turn up the Christmas playlist and point the car toward Madisonville. This holiday season, Madisonville Christmas Company is inviting Texans to trade the usual weekend errands for something decidedly more festive: a Christmas road trip.

"We want the drive to Madisonville to be part of the Christmas experience," said Ashley Rentz, co-founder of Madisonville Christmas Company. "Put on your favorite Christmas music, bring the family or your girlfriends and make a day of it.
