Seaside — Through December 30
Back for its sixth year of production, The REP Theatre presents their smash-hit holiday comedy Every Christmas Story Ever Told … And Then Some. This hilarious, family-friendly performance tackles all of your favorite Christmas stories — really, really fast. USA Today called the play one of America’s “wackiest, tackiest and happiest holiday events.” Learn more and grab tickets.
Baytowne on Ice
Sandestin — through January 31
For those missing the chills of snow and ice during the holidays, take a whirl around the ice skating rink at The Village of Baytowne Wharf. The seasonal rink has become a favorite holiday tradition for kids and adults alike. For the month of December, bring an unopened toy to receive a two for one deal on a 90-minute skating session.
