It is amazing how many spectacular holiday tree lighting ceremonies in South Florida are scheduled for the next few weeks!
When I first moved down here it was hard for me to truly get into the holiday spirit. No snow, 80 (sometimes 90) degree weather. Palm trees streamlined the streets instead if bare trees.
I took to searching for holiday-themed events to get in the spirit, and listed just a handful of what is scheduled in terms of holiday tree lighting ceremonies! They are listed chronologically, some on the same day so be sure to confirm times!
