Looking for the best things to do in Miami and South Florida this weekend? Here are some great family-friendly events and activities to add to your schedule.

Welcome to December, Mommy Poppins families. We here in Miami and South Florida are all about Christmas and holiday activities this time of year, as we await the arrival of Santa and Rudolph.

With less than three weeks to Christmas, you can get in the spirit at holiday lights shows in Cooper City, Fort Lauderdale, Sunrise, West Palm Beach, and elsewhere. Winter festivals usher in the season in Royal Palm Beach and Islamorada, while traditional Nutcracker performances take center stage in Miami and West Palm Beach

For a special treat, consider a water taxi cruise in Fort Lauderdale, a circus performance in Aventura, or the Candy Cane Parade in Hollywood.
