There are so many holiday events happening at Molbaks. From Kringle tasting (which some of you may recognize from an earlier Instagram story) to live music, Christmas villages, holiday drinks at the Russel’s Garden Cafe and all the oohing and aahing you can take admiring their gorgeous seasonal decor. They also have a number of great photo opportunities prepared. All you have to do is snap a selfie.

Bundle up and head north to Warm Beach for the Lights of Christmas Festival. It’s a great option if you live in the north end, and, if you don’t, well, crank up the Christmas tunes and enjoy the drive. It’s worth it! Our family recommends heading straight for the holiday train (to avoid the crazy line later) and then wandering around in awe of the light displays with a hot chocolate and fresh kettle corn.

If you’re looking for rainy day Holiday activities, head to Swansons Nursery. Don’t miss the darling reindeer Dasher & Blitzen, the model train (Frozen is the theme this year) pictures with Santa (by appointment), live music and so much more! Also, it’s worth noting that I had the best holiday drink of the entire year so far at Swansons cafe. ☕ Just sayin’ 🙂
