Nebraska travelers will have another opportunity to explore the state this holiday season as the Nebraska Holiday Passport returns with 24 stops from November 13 through January 10.
The 2026 Holiday Passport features destinations across Nebraska, including holiday markets, coffee shops, bakeries, specialty stores and outdoor attractions.
The Panhandle is represented by two stops this year. Scotts Bluff National Monument in Gering and Chadron State Park in Chadron are both included in the Holiday Passport, giving travelers a chance to explore two of western Nebraska's most recognizable destinations as part of the holiday program.
North Platte also has two stops on this year's Passport: Golden Spike Tower & Visitors Center and Canteen Candies.
The remaining stops stretch across the state, giving participants plenty of options for holiday road trips. The Passport includes BrewBakers Coffee House & Gifts in Arnold, The Holiday Market and Eugene T. Mahoney State Park in Ashland, The Homestead in Belgrade, Cedar Creek Coffee & Art in Elkhorn, Brewed Bee in Gibbon and Auntie Annie's Flower Farm & Mercantile in Glenvil.
Grand Island, Lincoln and Loup City are also represented, along with Lucy's Bakery and Cafe in McCook, Apple House Market at Arbor Day Farm in Nebraska City and Lot 279 Craft Meats in Norfolk.
Omaha has two participating locations, Marigold's Mercantile and 1890 - Perfumery + Apothecary. The Passport also includes Asters Foods & Smokehouse in Sidney, The Draw Bar in Valentine and Bloom & Grace in Wayne.
Many of this year's participating locations will offer special deals for Passport holders, along with holiday-themed events and seasonal decorations.
The Holiday Passport divides the 24 destinations into eight regions, with three stops in each region. Participants who visit all three stops in a region will receive a regional postcard and a lottery coupon.
Those who complete all 24 stops will become Holiday Passport Champions and receive a special holiday mug.
The Nebraska Holiday Passport began in 2022 as a supplement to the larger Nebraska Passport program, which features destinations across the state during the spring and summer.
The holiday program runs from November 13 through January 10, giving travelers nearly two months to explore Nebraska and support local businesses and attractions while enjoying the holiday season.
