The Halls Are Decked and the Cheer Is Real
December 12, 2025
Holiday vibes have officially hit Shorewood Hills. Here’s how we’re celebrating and why you should swing by.
It’s that time of year when peppermint everything takes over the shelves, your inbox fills with gift guides you didn’t ask for, and Madison suddenly feels like a snow globe. Here at Arbor Crossing, we’ve fully embraced the season, and our lobby shows it.
Our holiday decor is officially up, and we didn’t hold back. Think twinkling trees, garlands that could rival a Hallmark movie set, and just enough sparkle to make your coffee run feel like a festive outing. Whether you're passing through or pausing for a selfie, it's a jolly little scene worth checking out.
But the holiday cheer doesn’t stop at the front door. Just outside, the University Holiday Lights take the seasonal magic to the next level. This local favorite display lights up the neighborhood with thousands of twinkling bulbs, set to music and glowing with festive spirit. Residents at Arbor Crossing can enjoy the show from their apartments and balconies, making evenings at home feel extra bright. It’s like having your own personal holiday light display without the tangled extension cords.
One of the best things about life in Shorewood Hills, especially when you’re living in walkable West Side Madison apartments, is how easy it is to enjoy the holidays without braving the mall parking lot. A short stroll from Arbor Crossing gets you to neighborhood gems like Metcalfe’s for local gifts, Ancora Café + Bakery for seasonal sips, and Shorewood Hills’ own scenic trails if you need to walk off that third gingerbread cookie.
So if you’re already in the holiday spirit or need a little help getting there, consider this your sign to swing by. No shopping pressure, no car required.
