PHOTOS: Christmas on MainStreet

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- MainStreet America, a one-stop shopping paradise for anyone wishing to build, renovate or furnish a home, is hosting 'Christmas on MainStreet' a magical experience for the entire family.

Every Saturday through December 19th, MainStreet transforms into a winter wonderland with nightly snowfalls, musical light shows, MainStreet express train rides, and hot chocolate with Santa and Mrs. Clause.

Our Cool Spaces this week has a Christmas theme.

The star attraction this holiday season is the first ever Lights of Hope event.

MainStreet invites 11 local charities to each decorate and light the outside of one model home, in hopes of winning the grand prize of $10,000.

From now until December 12th, MainStreet America visitors vote for their favorite charity by placing a cash donation in the donation box at the entrance of their charity's decorated house.

Every dollar donated equals one vote, so the more you donate, the more votes your charity receives. The winning charity will be announced on Saturday December 19th.
