Celebration, Florida: Shopping, Dining, and SNOW!

If you’re the Kissimmee area, you need to hurry on over to visit Celebration, Florida where you can find it snowing nightly through Saturday, December 31!  Every hour, on the hour from 6pm-9pm you can experience a snowfall that puts smiles on everyone’s faces, gives you a wonderful feeling of winter, and all without the freezing temperatures!And, my favorite, snow amongst the palm trees…

Celebration, Florida offers so many quaint shops, restaurants, and activities this holiday season with an “ice rink” available now through January 2nd. The rink was actually a plastic-composite-like material rather than real ice.  Skates and guides are offered for rent, I opted against in only because I know I’d hurt myself!aWe enjoyed a group dinner at Columbia Restaurant where we sipped wine an sangria that was melded tableside with a variety of fruits and both red and white wine.

The menu had a lovely variety of Spanish/Cuban cuisine.  My Pollo “Riojano” was okay and was very similar to chicken parmesean. I preferred my friends meal that had a wonderfully flavored beef, chicken, and pork, though the name of it escapes me. The salad and bread were so yummy , and I simply LOVED the key lime pie dessert, so creamy, tart, and delicious.Having only spent a few hours in the area, it’s definitely a place I’d come back to when I visit central Florida again.

Thanks to the Kissimmee CVB for hosting dinner.  All opinions are my own.
