With the holidays approaching quickly, you might be occupied with traveling, buying expensive gifts, family obligations and even preparing meals. Despite all the stress and worry that comes with the holidays, you should take the time to enjoy yourself this season.
One way you can do that is by indulging in festive activities! You can make your way down to the Rosemont Entertainment District where you can ice skate the night away or stop by the Sparkle Lights Festival.
Additionally, you can take a magical ride on the Northwest Side Holiday Trolley. Here you can visit local shops at Old Irving Park, Six Corners Shopping District and more.
Rides are free from noon to 5 p.m.
Most importantly, try this season’s newest holiday drinks at Starbucks. My sister and I recently tried their amazing new iced peppermint mocha frappuccino, which tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream!
My sister described it as “flavorful without being too sweet.”
Grading scale:
4 – Exceeds
3 – Meets
2 – Approaches
1 – Does not meet
According to our grading scale, the peppermint mocha frappuccino deserved a solid 3.5 out of 4 which is a high exceeds.
Finally, the best way to spread Christmas cheer is by heading over to Elf’d Up, a Christmas-themed restaurant inspired by the movie “Elf.” There you can eat the best foods, including Buddy’s signature breakfast: Spaghetti, syrup and candy!
So, this holiday season, take the time to have fun with family and friends, whether that’s decorating a gingerbread house or baking some holiday cookies.
With that being said, enjoy the holidays and see you next year!
