10 Things To Do During Twixmas

It’s officially Twixmas, and yes, we just learned that term, too. It’s that in-between week. The one where no one knows what day it is and routines are optional. Twixmas is the quiet stretch between Christmas and New Year’s. Kids are home, work slows down, and suddenly there’s space to do something spontaneous, or nothing at all.

If you’re staying in Atlanta this week and wondering how to fill the days before everything ramps back up, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite local ways to enjoy the in-between time. Here are 10 Twixmas ideas around Atlanta:

1. IllumiNights at the Zoo
Zoo Atlanta transforms into a glowing winter experience, and this unseasonably warm weather makes it even better.

2. College Football Hall of Fame
Interactive exhibits, open space, and plenty of movement make this an easy win for burning off kid energy or entertaining out-of-town guests.

3. Fantasy In Lights at Callaway Gardens
A short road trip perfect for making a new tradition. We used to take our kids year after year for the light shows and classic holiday atmosphere.

4. Cirque du Soleil: LUZIA
Turn it into a full outing by pairing the show with ice skating or dinner at Atlantic Station.

5. Winter Wonderland at Fernbank
Holiday trees from around the world, oversized snow globes, and indoor fun make this a great daytime option.

6. Noel Magic Lights at Atlanta Motor Speedway
A drive-through Christmas light show synchronized to music. Cozy, festive, and easy with kids.

7. Igloo Dining
Reserve an igloo at The Roof at Ponce City Market or Yebo Beach Haus for a memorable Twixmas dinner. Note: igloos ay Yebo are first come, first served.

8. Garden Nights & Lights at The Kimpton Sylvan Hotel
Sip hot cider (bourbon optional), enjoy seasonal charcuterie & cozy fire pits under twinkling holiday lights.

9. Splatter Painting at The Splatter Studio
Let creativity take over at their Virginia Highland or Sandy Springs locations.

10. Do Absolutely Nothing
Stay home. Sleep in. Enjoy the quiet.

Twixmas has a way of slipping by quickly. We hope you find a few moments to enjoy it, wherever you are.

Warmly,
