Go on a magical journey along with the rest of the passengers aboard the Polar Express. There’s singing, dancing, story time and some fun characters to meet.
You also get shortbread and hot chocolate in this one hour experience. As well as a special visit from Santa Claus.
2. Miracle in Miami – Doral
Miracle in Miami happens every year during the holiday season. This time it happened at The Doral Yard!
This awesome food hall and bar has some very delicious festive drinks and the whole place is so festive! It was hard to not order all the drinks, but happy I got to try the ones I did.
3. Coral Gables Holiday Park
This is such a cute park for kids and if you’re like me and don’t have any, don’t worry it’s still a good place to walk around and check out the lights!
City Hall also decorates with a massive wreath and tree, which is nice to see.
This park is open to the general public until Sunday Jan. 2, 2022., and it’s free admission.
