We might not be walking in a winter wonderland, but there are so many ways we can create our own Christmas magic. Most of us love to go all out for the holidays, and we don’t have to deal with freezing temperatures, which makes Florida, in our opinion, the best place to be this time of year.
1. Put up your lights and decorations.
With our beautiful winter weather, there's no excuse not to.
2. Make Christmas cookies.
(Florida style.)
3. Check out one of Florida's gorgeous Christmas towns.

7. Spend a day on the beach.
Give in to the out-of-town visitors who don't get to live near the beach year-round.
8. Make a gingerbread house.
They're so cute (and delicious).
9. If your community follows this tradition, set up a luminaria display.
And enjoy a stroll on the magical lantern-lined sidewalks.
10. If you don't mind the crowds, head to Florida's biggest Christmas party.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is a spectacular holiday celebration for children and children at heart. It's running through December 22nd at the Magic Kingdom.
11. Check out the events at Florida's beautiful state parks.
Because we live in Florida, winter doesn't stop us from enjoying the outdoors. This
site provides a helpful list of events. Call ahead to double-check dates and times.
12. Of course, don't forget a visit with Santa.
You're never too old to visit with Santa, and luckily, he's making stops all over the Sunshine State this season.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!
