As a Christian university, we enjoy a wonderful freedom to celebrate Christmas as the hope it represents through the birth of our Savior.
We hope you will join us in our Christmas celebration. Whether through our daily Advent readings, wonderful School of Music performances, or events, activities and personal stories shared throughout the season, let us always remember that the birth of Jesus is the reason we celebrate.
Advent Devotionals
Christmas 2026
Daily devotionals, penned by Baylor University faculty, staff, and students, start Sunday, November 29, and will continue through Christmas Eve.
Celebrate Christmas with the School of Music
From the Baylor Symphony Orchestra and choirs to handbells and A Cappella and chamber singers, Baylor School of Music students perform an array of Christmas concerts across campus.
Sweater weather, hot chocolate, roaring fires, snowfall (sometimes, at least). Christmas season is unquestionably the most wonderful time of the year — and at Baylor, the most wonderful time of the year officially begins with Christmas on 5th Street.
The Baylor Traditions Ornaments offer an opportunity each year for Baylor Bears everywhere to show off their school spirit and commemorate the special place that the Christmas season holds in the hearts of the Baylor Family.
Enjoy holiday fun throughout the museum and historic village, including train rides, Santa Claus, and cardboard gingerbread houses.
For more than 60 years, the combined choirs and orchestra of Baylor’s School of Music have heralded the arrival of Christmas with a joyful worship performance. This month, an encore presentation of the award-winning “A Baylor Christmas” will air on 175+ stations across 39 states.
