Dylan here. 👋 It’s no surprise this weekend is brimming with seasonal markets, festive performances, and other holiday happenings across the 615. I’m especially excited for the return of “Nashville’s Nutcracker.” Head to the TPAC’s Jackson Hall to experience the annual Nashville Ballet production featuring live music by the Nashville Symphony. Bonus: Watch for the reimagined snow scene this year.

No matter how you like to spend a day, Key West is the perfect place to get away from it all (especially in the winter). Just watch out for iguanas.
  • You can’t go to the Keys and not try a slice of Key lime pie. Every restaurant has its own twist on this classic, but I’m partial to the one at Blue Heaven topped with sky-high layers of meringue.
  • Key West was discovered in the 1500s, so it’s got a long, spooky history. Learn about its past with a ghost tour on a trolley — and say hello to Robert the Doll.
  • Stay at this Charming cottage with a pool (~$539/night).*
