Jungle Island's enchanting nighttime wonderland returns for a third year with over 40 all-new lantern installations inspired by fairytale worlds and kawaii culture, plus a first-ever Holiday Village and marketplace (Nov 14–Jan 5) featuring more than 100 Christmas trees, food stands with holiday treats like elephant ears and mulled wine, a bazaar with seasonal crafts and gifts and a 30-foot decorated centerpiece tree.
Miami is always doing the most in December. After Thanksgiving, it's pretty much straight into Art Basel shenanigans. And then once all the Miami Art Week fun is done, it's holiday mode full force. Yes, we've got tons of holiday events and festive pop-ups in Miami each year, not to mention over-the-top Miami Christmas lights and Christmas dinners, so plan to unbutton your pantalones a notch or two this month.
With so much time off built into December, it's also an ideal time month to explore epic concerts and immersive experiences that'll leave you simply WOW-ed. And right when you think your holiday cheer-o-meter is sputtering dangerously close to zero (around the time you forget what day it is), it's time to ring in 2024 with a New Year's Eve Party—and who does it better than we do here in the 305? This is all to say, December is literally the best in Miami, so drop this link in the group chat and plan to have some fun.
