Central Florida Lifestyle's Top 24 Ways To Make Your Holidays Glisten

Our team has picked the best ways to celebrate the holiday season as only Central Floridians can do.

1 Pet Lovers Holiday Craft Fair

Kick off the holiday shopping season with Winter Park Lost Pets on Nov. 30. This event will feature pet stockings, handmade dog jackets, artisan crafts, finely crafted jewelry, digital holiday pet photos and more.

2 Margaritaville Resort Orlando

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere so spend a day or start a staycation at one of Central Florida’s most laidback properties. Make a splash at the Island H2O Live! Water Park, get a treatment at the spa or dig into a Cheeseburger in Parade in a poolside cabana.

3 Pop-up Holiday Cocktail Bars

Get in the spirit with two pop-ups bars that will only be around for the holidays. Miracle on Orange will be hosted at The Courtesy in downtown Orlando and Sippin’ Santa will be at Avanti Palms Resort on International Drive. Both will serve festive cocktails perfect for the season.

4 Monorail Crawl

Disney’s monorail route goes through three upscale hotels, where you can stop to marvel at the holiday displays and grab a snack and drink if you prefer. Be sure to check out the new “Beauty and the Beast” themed lounge at the Grand Floridian, and remember that you can have a similar adventure on the new Skyliner.

5 Disney Springs

From ho ho ho to hot cocoa. From timeless gifts to quality time. This season, unwrap the joy of Disney Springs®—where you’ll not only discover wonderful times together, but you’ll also find that perfect gift. Choose from some of your favorite brands—including Coach, The LEGO® Store and World of Disney® store.
