Late afternoon light lays the Organ Mountains in thin blue bands while downtown Las Cruces starts to glow with holiday strings and storefront displays.

This is a city with deep roots: Indigenous Pueblo peoples, Spanish colonial outposts like Old Mesilla, and the agricultural culture shaped by the Rio Grande. Geologically, the Chihuahuan Desert frames the scene—volcanic ridges and desert bajadas give way to irrigated fields where chiles have been grown for generations. Holiday traditions here combine Southwestern flavors and Hispano customs; expect decorations alongside local craftwork and chile-smoke scents in winter markets.
The Holly Jolly Hunt is an app-driven, self-guided scavenger hunt that runs about an hour and plays across pedestrian-friendly streets and plazas. Teams photograph prompts through the app, complete lighthearted challenges, and track scores on a leaderboard. The route is stroller-accessible and suitable for mixed-ability groups; challenges are flexible for kids, co-workers, or friends.
Practical tips: start with a charged phone and a power bank, avoid midday heat in summer, and pick a starting point near Old Mesilla or the Main Street corridor to combine the hunt with local eats. Expect short walking distances on paved sidewalks, occasional curb crossings, and plenty of photo ops. Bring water, dress in layers for winter evenings, and leave room in your schedule to grab a hot drink or visit a local artisan booth after the game.
The hunt is designed to run about one hour, though teams can take longer if they pause for photos or stops.
