Central Park in Winter Park, FL. Typically held the first weekend after the Thanksgiving holidays, this festive event features a tall 17 year old Christmas tree completely decked out in lights and Christmas décor. This pomp and circumstance is great fun for the entire family.
Kids will enjoy the freshly made snow they can pack into balls for snowball fights or even for building snow people. There is hot chocolate on hand as well as tasty pastries and other refreshments. Santa Claus will also be on hand to greet the kids and listen to their wish lists and pass out treats.
