13 Ways to Celebrate Christmas in Florida

"A downtown holiday festival running on select dates from early November through Christmas Eve featuring free holiday-themed shows at the corner of Palafox Place and Government Street; attendees can reserve photos with Santa or the Grinch and ride themed open-air trolley tours—one based on "The Polar Express" that includes a tap-dancing performance on the courthouse steps, a cup of hot cocoa, and a 20-minute musical journey, and two others inspired by "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" with costumed characters and plentiful photo ops." - Skye Sherman Skye Sherman Skye Sherman is a travel writer based in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The best thing to do during Christmas break!! If you've never done this the Grinch tour is my favorite, but can be scary for really young children. My 5yr old grandson preferred the Polar Express when he was younger, but now he loves the Grinch tour.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. They do the best Polar Express trolley trip. Adults and kids will enjoy. Price was good. I would do it again if I am in town. 3, 7 year olds loved it as well as the 75 year old.

Winterfest is always an absolute blast! While I didn’t get any pictures of the Grinch ride, I have to say—it was INCREDIBLE! Highly, highly recommend it for families who love to laugh and enjoy a great time together. The actors did an outstanding job bringing the experience to life. Such a fun and memorable time for everyone. We also did the train as a family which was fun. Thank you all for making it so special!

Before you go please know your child can not sit on Santa’s lap. My 16 month old had to awkwardly sit on the “presents” in front of Santa which honestly are shabby and awkward while Santa did some odd arms out thing behind him. Really unsatisfying. Last years photos were WAY better quality and I felt like they actually took some time with us. This year we waited in line half a hour past our appointment time, which fine I’m sure it gets backed up but then didn’t even have 3 minutes with Santa. It’s like they just clicked the first 25 photos they could and were done, no attempt to take a actual good one. We won’t be back next year unfortunately unless they change the “sit on boxes while Santa creeps behind you” thing. I will attach last years photos and then this years. Definitely disappointed.

Went there and due to rain they canceled the outside show. We had a tap dancing show in a damn parking garage with employees that didn’t really seem to know what was going on. Our family went on the and went to these odd stops around downtown with a Santa that didn’t even have a beard. The train conductor, which didn’t know a single line by heart to the polar express script, got the kids excited for Rudolf to come in the polar express and say hi. Rudolf never showed up. This was a horrible experience, I paid 70 dollars for my family to go and it is something I will never recommend. Next time just cancel the event due to rain and issue refunds. This was unreal.
