1. See the Christmas Sand Sculpture Created at Holiday in Paradise

Holiday Paradise is a Christmas tradition in West Palm Beach, Florida that celebrates both the tropical paradise that is South Florida and Christmas. Every year, professional sand sculptors come to Downtown West Palm Beach to create sand masterpieces with over 700 tons of sand. The location is right on the waterfront. So, you can take a stroll down Clematis, visit a few shops, grab a bite or a drink, and end up at the West Palm Beach Waterfront! Visit anytime from November 18-24, 2020.

2. Feel Like a True Floridian at a Holiday Boat Parade

What’s Christmas in Florida without taking advantage of the great weather and beautiful waterways? Rather than your typical holiday parade, Floridians like to upgrade from floats to real-life water vehicles. Residents deck out their boats in true holiday fashion; with lights, music, and holiday creations that’ll leave you inspired. One of the most locally-renowned Christmas boat parades is the Pompano Beach Holiday Boat Parade, which is scheduled for December 11 on the intercoastal waterway.

3. Be Dazzled by a Drive-Through Holiday Light Show

Christmas 2020 may look different this year, but we don’t have to skip out on the Christmas lights! With the Holiday Lights Drive-Through Event, you can stay safe and still enjoy the beauty of Christmas lights at night with your friends and family. The show’s located in Coconut Creek and goes from November 20 to January 2, so there’s still plenty of time to get your holiday spirit in order!.

4. Visit the South Florida Food and Wine Festival

After the Christmas festivities are over, you don’t have to stop celebrating winter! From February 24-28, you can eat, drink, and be merry at the South Florida Food and Wine Festival. It’s a festival that hosts world-renowned chefs and wine experts to showcase their talents (and most importantly, their creations).
