- Go on a tour. Visit a winery, a museum, a famous athletic venue or any other popular local attraction.
- Attend a holiday concert. Buy a block of tickets to a performance of the Nutcracker or another seasonal event.

- Christmas around the world. Incorporate holiday traditions from a variety of countries into your party.
