The most wonderful time of the year comes with a lot of planning, decorating, and cooking. Your Lennar home has Everything Included® which makes for the perfect spot to host a Christmas morning, a holiday party, or family dinner. Preparation is key to entertaining and creating a festive holiday gathering. To help you on the journey, we’ve compiled some of our best holiday home hacks.
We would be lying if we said the food and drinks aren’t the best part of any holiday party. To make sure your holiday spread is the best on the block, make sure there is something for each of your guests. A holiday dinner is different for every family, but traditionally includes meat, vegetables, a starch and of course dessert. Holiday cookies and sweets are a must, and whether they’re homemade in your GE® appliances provided by Lennar, or bought from the local grocery store, your guests will be reaching for treats all night long!
Everyone has their own taste when it comes to decorating for the holidays, but personalizing with your own twist is something that makes this time of year so special. Stringing lights on the exterior of your home or adding lawn ornaments and statues are great ways for everyone in your community to get into the holiday spirit. Let the creativity flow inside of your home with homemade ornaments and décor for all your guests to enjoy. Remember that your decorations don’t need to look like they’re from a designer magazine- they just need to spread holiday cheer!
While conversing and eating with family and friends is the focal point of any holiday party, planning some entertainment for your guests will set your gathering apart from the rest. Everyone loves holiday music, and there isn’t a shortage of festive playlists on the internet. Set the ambiance in your Lennar home by playing some Mariah Carey or Michael Bublé through the speakers, and your guests will be dancing and singing in no time! Games such as White Elephant or Secret Santa are great ways to give gifts in a fun and whimsical way.
Above all else, the holidays are a time for giving. Planning your shopping is prudent to a smooth holiday season. To make your loved ones feel special, try to find gifts that reflect their life and personality. Whether you’re getting your gifts delivered from Amazon or hand-making them, gifts are a great way to complete your perfect holiday gathering.
The best gift is the memories you will make in your beautiful Lennar home. It is amazing to see all our Lennar homeowners enjoy the holidays in their own way. Whether it’s decking the exterior of your home in lights, utilizing your kitchen for a delicious holiday meal, or sharing your home with guests, we hope you have a Happy Holiday in your Lennar home for many years to come!

It may be hard to imagine that buying a new home in Dallas’ sizzling, headline-grabbing housing market could even be possible. At the same time, it may be equally hard to imagine that opportunities to purchase the home you’ve always wanted are available here and now.
Imagine no longer—thanks to Lennar’s new communities with new homes for sale in North Texas’s most sought-after cities. Even more new Lennar homes are coming soon, too.
Two conveniently located Lennar communities, University Place, with new homes for sale in Dallas, TX and Lakewood Hills with new homes for sale in Lewisville, TX, showcase nearly 30 beautiful new-home designs combined. There’s something for everyone with unique floorplans you won’t find anywhere else.
Among the 13 new home plans available at Lakewood Hills, some include a dedicated media room and the innovative Next Gen® design. The Next Gen® plan features a private first-floor suite with a kitchenette, full bath and living area—ideal for multigenerational living.
High-end features are included throughout every new home, too. Lakewood Hills’ designs provide such elegant upgrades as quartz countertops in the island kitchen, luxury baths in the lavish owners suite, and smart-home technology with The Connected Home by Lennar™.
In other words, Everything’s Included™. That’s Lennar’s signature suite of features most other homebuilders consider “add-ons,” passing those costs onto you. In fact, everything’s included in every new Lennar home.
Lakewood Hills, which also boasts such amenities as a swimming pool, a picnic area, and a playground, lies about 15 miles from DFW International Airport and Grapevine Mills Mall.
A mere 10 miles from Lakewood Hills, Lennar’s University Place offers even more upscale homebuying opportunities. Among the community’s 15 designs, some include theater rooms, as well as other features similar to those offered in new homes at Lakewood Hills. University Place offers serenity a mere 16 miles from Dallas’s dazzling downtown.
That’s just the beginning. Coming soon, Trinity West is tucked just 3 miles from Trammel Crow Park, downtown Dallas’ recreational gem, and an easy 15-minute stroll from Fish Trap Lake. The intimate community is expected to open next year.
To learn how to take advantage of opportunities most homebuyers might not believe could exist nowadays in the Metroplex, contact Lennar’s Dallas-Fort Worth Internet New Home Sales Coordinators at (866) 314-4477.
If you’ve decided to host for Christmas or New Year’s, you’ve probably gone through quite a few Pinterest searches looking for ways to decorate in preparation for your guests. But after hanging your garland and setting up your tree, it may still feel like your home isn’t quite done. Even if you plan on keeping the décor to a minimum, adding thoughtful touches for your guests will elevate the experience and get everyone in the holiday spirit.
This one is pretty simple. Your favorite seasonal dishes like stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce or honey glazed ham will instantly feel festive. If you’re not cooking or you’ve decided to have dinner catered, you can easily make a grazing or charcuterie board feel more seasonal simply by adding some holiday treats. A board with candy canes, white chocolate, marshmallows, cinnamon sticks and peppermint goodies will not go unnoticed.
Whether it’s a simple hot chocolate or a cold drink that adds a different kind of warmth, a themed cocktail or mocktail will be appreciated. Bonus points if you add cinnamon sticks, sprigs of rosemary, or cranberries for a stylish and delicious touch.
Holiday scents like pine, vanilla, balsam, clove and cinnamon are distinctive and nostalgic. Scented candles lit throughout the home will effortlessly transform your space into a winter wonderland, even if you’ve decided to go simple with the decorations. If you’re lighting multiple candles, it’s a good idea to stick either to one scent or light some unscented ones to balance out to the fragrance.
And don’t forget to swap out your regular hand soaps for seasonal options!
Amenities baskets aren’t always so simple to do, but if you’ve got a lot of stuff laying around the house that you don’t need – such as stocking stuffers that you aren’t going to use, extra hand sanitizer bottles, candles you don’t need, or even some snacks in the pantry – they can be a thoughtful touch for your guests without you having to go overboard. And if they don’t need the goodies, they can always just leave them behind.
This is also a good place to include important information such as the wifi password, emergency phone numbers, and lock box or garage codes.
The great thing about the holiday season is that the florals tend to last a pretty long time. Evergreens are named such for a reason! Pinecones, eucalyptus, poinsettias and dried arrangements all look great this time of year, too.
If you’re looking to get crafty, making a wreath is a great way to get in the holiday spirit – and you can easily get the kids or guests involved for a group project.
The holidays are a stressful time of year, whether you’re hosting or not. But adding thoughtful touches can be as effortless as purchasing a scented hand soap instead of your regular go-to – and these little additions can go a long way to make your guests feel comfortable in your Lennar home.

The Alpenglow spans approximately 2,376 square feet in size with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, while the Solstice offers approximately 2,570 square feet of living space with four bedrooms and three bathrooms between the main home and the Next Gen® suite.

We all want to see our loved ones’ faces light up this holiday season, but shopping for gifts can be stressful. What to buy, what to spend, when and where to get the perfect deal…it can all feel like too much. But holiday shopping doesn’t have to be stressful! And there’s more to smart holiday shopping than Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Have you ever grocery shopped without a list and gone home with some really unexpected purchases? Holiday shopping is no different. Start with a list of people to shop for and list out realistic gift ideas. If you really don’t know what to get, set a spending limit for each person. This will help stop you from going over budget.
No matter how big the discount, you’re still spending money. Stick to your list and avoid getting sucked in by deals that seem too good to pass up.
If your list includes big ticket items like computers, tablets, TVs, and the like, spend a little time researching the best brands and deals out there. Read reviews, compare models and list out your top 3 choices for each item. This will help you ensure that you’re buying what you really want and getting it for the best price.
Pretty much everyone does at least some shopping on a computer or mobile device these days. Companies like Amazon and Target make it easier than ever to buy, wrap and ship just about anything. There are also helpful online shopping tools like Honey or Rakuten – browser extensions that tracks pricing on popular items across the internet.
This might be the most important holiday shopping hack of all. Holiday giving isn’t about how much you spend or how many gifts there are to be opened. That’s why it’s typically better to buy one nice, thoughtful gift that will last for years instead of 10 cheap items that will wear out in a few months. This year, make every dollar you spend more meaningful by choosing quality over quantity.
The holidays mean so much to us here at Lennar. There’s no better time to bring loved ones together, and there’s no better place to gather than a beautiful, high-quality Lennar home. In fact, three of our newest Miami communities offer spacious new homes at affordable prices, with easy access to the best of South Florida:
Lennar invites home shoppers to attend the model grand opening of two new collections at Aviano, Oriana and Luna, on Saturday, December 11th from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Attendees will enjoy complimentary food and beverages, while being the first to tour the six stunning model homes.
“We are so excited to debut these beautiful model homes and kick off the grand opening of this masterplan with a fun event,” said Julie Wrighton, Director of Marketing for Lennar Bay Area. “Both Luna and Oriana offer a variety of single-family homes for sale, with three Next Gen® options to accommodate the needs of multigenerational families.”
Luna offers a collection of five single-family homes to choose from. These two-story residences range in size from approximately 2,035 to 3,183 square feet of living space with three to five bedrooms and two to three and one-half bathrooms.
Oriana offers four single-family homes to choose from, with one single-story and three two-story options. The homes range in size from approximately 2,328 to 3,637 square feet of living space with four to five bedrooms and two and one-half to three and one-half bathrooms.
Lennar offers Next Gen® floorplans in both collections, with three designs in total. Designed with multigenerational families in mind, Next Gen® homes feature an attached private suite complete with its own separate entrance, living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. The suite also connects to the main home, allowing for direct access or privacy depending on the household’s needs. It’s become a popular space for older grandparents, grown children, extended family or as an office, at home classroom or guest suite.
Each new Lennar home at Aviano also comes with added value thanks to the homebuilder’s signature Everything’s Included® program, which provides upgrades at no additional cost. These include stainless steel appliances, granite or quartz countertops, whole-home connectivity, a Ring security kit and more as standard.
Residents of Luna and Oriana will also benefit from great onsite amenities, including a park, future bocce ball courts, picnic area, barbecues, dog park and playground.
The event will take place at the Aviano masterplan, located at 5296 Trimonti Circle in Antioch, CA. For more information visit www.lennar.com/bayarea or call 888-216-2330 today.
