Florida doesn’t do snow, but the Treasure Coast makes up for it with a genuinely festive run of holiday lights and events from late November through early January — worth building into a winter trip if the timing lines up.
Where to look
- Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens — beautifully decorated with festive lights each holiday season, a lovely evening walk
- Downtown Stuart and Fort Pierce — both host holiday parades and tree-lighting events
- MIDFLORIDA Event Center — often hosts seasonal markets and events around the holidays
- Local neighborhood displays — several residential streets around the area put on impressive home light displays worth a slow drive-through
Planning ahead
December is one of our busier booking months, so if a festive trip is the plan, it’s worth locking in dates early. Many of our homes also look lovely decorated for the season if you’d like a touch of home for the holidays — just ask when you book.
