Holiday Evening at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens<\/h3>\n
\n

Spend an evening strolling the grounds, specially decorated for the holidays just as they would have been 100 years ago when James Deering called the museum home. Wander through the Main House after dark (an opportunity that comes but twice a year), gather round the organ for traditional holiday tunes and celebrate the season with complimentary cocktails and sugary treats.<\/p>\n

Sights and Sounds of the Season<\/h3>\n
\n

Listen to Christmas carols and festive holiday songs from around the world performed by the renowned New World Symphony, under the direction of conductor\u00a0Dean Whiteside.

George Balanchine\u2019s The Nutcracker<\/h3>\n
\n

For 27 holiday seasons, Miami City Ballet has\u00a0been producing an identical version of the\u00a0Balanchine\/Tchaikovsky fairy tale. This year, the company reinvents\u00a0T<\/em>he Nutcracker<\/em>with brand-new sets and costumes. The purists, meanwhile, can put down the pitchforks: It\u2019s still Balanchine and it\u2019s still\u00a0Tchaikovsky.<\/p>\n

Christmas caroling on Lincoln Road<\/h3>\n
\n

Sing your favorite holiday tunes up and down Lincoln Road, and wind up belting out songs over cocktails. The festive event kicks off at\u00a0Segafredo\u00a0and continues through the illuminated outdoor mall with stops at shops along the way.<\/p>\n

Santa\u2019s Enchanted Forest<\/h3>\n
\n

The world\u2019s largest holiday theme park (at least according to the website) returns for its 35th season with more shimmering lights (more than two miles of bulbs!), bigger carnival rides (including the tallest traveling Ferris wheel in the United States) and only-in-Miami experiences. The county-fair-meets-winter-wonderland is chock-full of amusement rides, carnival games, photo ops with Santa and his helpers and an assortment of fair food\u2014think fresh doughnuts, funnel cakes and more.<\/p>\n

Winter Shorts<\/h3>\n
