You can't decide which places to visit or what to do in Florida. Have no fear, a list is here to help you manage your vacation itinerary and spend more time enjoying your stay than planning for it.
Are you a music lover? If you love Christmas carols, don't miss the Historic Bok Sanctuary, where the carillon plays every 30 minutes. There are daily performances for the entire month of December at 1:00 and 3:00 in the afternoon. There is no entrance fee to the gardens.
The Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra is another treat for music lovers. The show, titled "Holiday Pops Encore", features the long-standing orchestra together with the Jacksonville Children's Chorus and the Jacksonville Symphony Chorus at the Jacoby Symphony Hall. Now that you've relaxed and filled your ears with the soothing melodies of Christmas, you're sure to be in that holiday state of mind.
Maybe you're into health and fitness and can't let the day go by without getting some exercise. Maybe you're a little homesick and miss the snow and ice. Go ice skating. Yes, ice skating in Florida. Don't laugh. There are many ice skating rinks to be found in Florida, and you'd surely want to try out Countryside Towncenter's Centre Ice in Clearwater.
Okay, so you've lost all that energy and you need to get some sugar into your system. Walt Disney World's culinary experts showcase their sweet masterpieces at the Beach Club Resort, Epcot, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Boardwalk, Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, the Contemporary and Polynesian resorts, and at the Yacht Club Resort's lobby. Oh, and yes, you can eat the displays.

History buffs won't want to miss this Fort Christmas recreation.
Visit the Whitehall Flagler Museum in Palm Beach, Florida for that unique historical experience.

Whitehall is among the so-called Gilded Age homes that have survived through the years.
