Southlake holiday home tour returns Dec. 6 for 2 nonprofits

Four Southlake homes will open their doors Dec. 6 for the 5th Annual Southlake Holiday Home Tour, a self-guided afternoon fundraiser benefiting two nonprofits.

Tickets cost $40 for general admission with advance purchase, according to the event's ticket page. All proceeds go to The Gifting Project Southlake and Special Olympics Texas.

The tour runs from noon to 5 p.m. Guests can visit the homes in any order at their own pace. Specific home addresses have not been released. Organizers said the featured homes will be unveiled about two weeks before the tour, and ticket holders will receive an email with addresses and a map.

Who's behind it

Abby Waterstreet, president and co-founder of The Gifting Project Southlake and a real estate advisor with Engel & Völkers, leads the event. Planning committee leaders Roxann Taylor and Amber Butcher round out the organizing team, according to a Southlake Style partner feature. Engel & Völkers is the presenting sponsor.

Where the money goes

The Gifting Project Southlake is a volunteer-led nonprofit that buys three gifts from each child's wish list and delivers them during the holidays. The group also runs a Birthday Bags program, which has provided gifts to more than 80 children each school year since launching in fall 2022, according to the nonprofit's website. Its 2025 holiday project served 963 children and delivered more than 3,100 gifts. The 2026 goal is to reach more than 1,200 children.

Special Olympics Texas offers sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities across the state. The organization says it serves more than 60,000 athletes and families and holds more than 300 events each year in Texas.
