As 2025 comes into its final months it is also time for the most exciting time of the year to begin. The holidays have arrived, and for many travelers, their holiday plans include visiting Estes Park and staying in our Voyago Vacation Rentals seasonal sanctuaries! Offering crisp and cold weather, snowy days and nights, and all of the beauty that accompanies the holiday season, you may wonder however, what you should pack to ensure that you stay cozy and warm while also remaining the stylish icon that you have always been considered. Our guide to what to pack for a holiday getaway in Estes Park will ensure that no wrong steps will be taken during your unforgettable Colorado trip of a lifetime!
Snoopy Has the Right Idea
We will start with a list of outerwear that will help keep you warm, dry, and comfortable during your outdoor adventures, and if you have visited any home décor store over the last year or so, you will absolutely understand what we mean when we say Snoopy has the right idea. Puffer Jacket Snoopy is all the rage in holiday décor, and in Estes Park, it is also all the rage in outdoor clothing! Somehow managing to be warm while also managing to be light and easily packed, this miracle piece of clothing comes in all colors, including a simply adorable metallic green that we caught sight of during our recent travels.
If you are going to be hiking or doing some cross-country skiing, it is also important to pack snow pants, waterproof boots, hats, and gloves. Micro spikes are another important accessory, slipping over your boots and helping provide traction that will enable you to stay on your feet.
Christmas Sweaters Are Always Fun
Feeling jolly over the Christmas season is even easier when you pack your favorite Christmas sweater or sweatshirt, and we sincerely believe that not all Christmas sweaters are ugly ones, but even the ugly ones can be fun! Daytime life in Estes Park is casual—who dresses up to play outside, after all?—and if your Elf sweater is your favorite and is warm and comfy, we definitely believe you should pack it. This is also a great time of year to pull your favorite corduroy pants out of storage, and yes, if you are planning on spending on any time at all outside playing, don’t forget your long underwear, a cold weather essential that has come a long way in terms of style. Olympic skier Kari Traa Rose offers an extremely warm set that comes in many colors and is adorned with such cute graphics, you may be tempted to wear the top on the outside! Wool or wool blend socks can help ensure that your feet stay nice and toasty, no matter how low the mercury plunges.
Holiday Events to Consider
We’ve already discussed tossing some of your favorite Christmas sweaters in your suitcase, but as the Estes Park Holiday Wine Festival takes place on November 29th, you might want to pack some of your cuter winter clothes as well. Honestly, anything goes in the style department at this exciting festival, but we know you want to look cute, so pack that wine-colored silk blouse, tuck your Ralph Lauren jeans into those brand new knee-high boots you found that offer a square chunky heel that is comfortable to walk in! You will be the belle of the wine festival, without looking like you tried to hard!
And although there isn’t a fancy New Year’s Eve soiree held in Estes Park, Charle’s Dicken’s Conjuring is a special magic show offered at Aiden’s Sinclair’s Underground, and you may want to include some nice going out wear if you are planning to attend the New Year’s Eve show! Boots (with chunky, not spike heels) are going to be your best choices for footwear, as sidewalks can get slippery after night fall.
What to Wear While Hanging Out at Home in Your Voyago Vacation Rentals Holiday Hideaway
There is something wonderful about spending a snowy night at home, especially when your rental offers a fireplace, so be sure to pack comfy at-home clothes, including cozy and colorful pajamas. Maybe you will gather around the dining room table to play Candyland with your toddlers at Christmas, and everyone knows that the best dressed families are always wearing matching pajamas. Or maybe your idea of a beautiful winter evening at home will involve Irish coffee, a roaring fire, and a Hallmark Christmas movie playing on the big screen television. Our winter Estes Park cabin rentals offer all of the above (and so much more), and your cozy jammies that you wear will take up very little room in your luggage.
