Winter Wonderland is something that I crave every December. Beautiful snowfall, homemade hot cocoa, soft onesie pajamas, Christmas movies with romance vibes cozied up by the fireplace. I never get tired of the magic. If you seek luxury and splendor below are 5 excellent activities for you!
Helgi Tomasson’s Nutcracker
Once you arrive to The War Memorial Opera house you immediately get into the holiday spirit. The place is festive, vibrant, and filled with beautiful decor. The organization follows all Covid policies and guidelines so that you can safely enjoy your experience. Seating is excellent, I suggest the orchestra so that you are closer to the magic. The dancers truly give an amazing show worthy of a standing ovation. The choreography by Artistic Director Helgi Tomasson is exceptional. I can honestly say that I felt several emotions while watching the performance, it was captivating.
The San Francisco Ballet has successfully kept up this American Holiday tradition. I simply can’t get enough! I will be attending more shows throughout the year. At the end of the show you have a vast amount of options for photo opps. No need to rush home, you can even dine with your family.
Tickets start as low as $19, you can’t beat that!

Standing 22 feet high & 23 feet wide, it’s beauty will take your breath away. Big spenders can even have the pleasure of dining inside. It doesn’t get more magical than that.

Holiday High Tea
Exotic tea flavors, cute little hors d’oeuvres, and spectacular decor! Nothing says the holidays more clearly. One sip of cocoa or macaroon tea can soothe your soul. Bite into a savory cucumber sandwich enhanced with smoked salmon. Try unique flavors and pairings like spiced poached pears. This is a great activity if you’d like to stay indoors and expand your taste palette.
