It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas… This weekend, Megan and I went to Sonder Social Club, which you may recognize from her roundup of Tampa Bay Christmas bars, and it got me thinking – what else can I do to get into the holiday spirit?
The answer: Enchant Christmas.
Located in four locations – Las Vegas, Nevada; Dallas, Texas; Washington, DC; and St. Petersburg, Florida – Enchant Christmas offers a great opportunity to indulge in that festive feeling. In 2019, I got the chance to go with Sara to their St. Pete event at Tropicana Field, and it was certainly magical. As their website says, “wonder awaits.” Here’s what you can look forward to:
- A light maze – make your way through the maze to help find the eight missing toys for Santa to deliver in time, while scoping out some amazing lights
- The Village – if you’ve been dreaming of the European Christmas markets I recently wrote about, this Nordic-inspired Christmas market has great treats and gifts
- Ice skating trail – there’s no better way to check out the lights as you glide through the Enchant forest
- Little One’s Play Place – while the event is kid-friendly, this is the perfect place for the kiddos, with building blocks and premium crafts, as well as story time with Mrs. Claus
- Visit Santa – obviously, the best way to get into the Christmas spirit is hanging out with the big man himself
When we went two years ago, we really enjoyed the maze and the market, taking all sorts of pictures and indulging in Enchanted cocktails, which are served in these great light bulb cups. Tickets start at $25 in St. Pete, though infants ages 0-2 are free, so this could be just the enchanted evening you’ve been looking for. (Holiday) cheers!
