What better way to enjoy the holiday than attending a Christmas concert? Listening to classic songs, carols, or Christmas-inspired originals is a great family-friendly way to celebrate! You could catch one of the Christmas concerts performed by students for parents in schools if that applies to you, or go to a professional performance like one of the upcoming Christmas Concerts at the Cairo Opera House!

Nothing says ‘fun’ quite like an amusement park. This holiday season, families can take a day trip to try out fun rides or hit the arcade for a great bonding experience. Zed Park, for one, is hosting ‘A Winter Fest’ for a winter-themed park so guests can experience the Christmas spirit!
