Happy holiday season! We’re gearing up for the hustle and bustle of the end of the year but still taking time to check out these newly opened businesses.

From drive-thru wonders to enchanted gardens, Charlotte’s lights displays are shining bright this holiday season.

Looking for the perfect gift for that special someone on your list? Charlotte shops make it easy to curate gifts and experiences no matter who's on the receiving end.

When it comes to the season of lights, Charlotte knows how to be merry and bright.

No matter how you celebrate the season, Charlotte invites everyone to get in the holiday spirit. Participate in tree lightings, take the kids for DIY Christmas crafts, enjoy a festive performance or shop local at a holiday market. Winter in Charlotte is a great time to don your best attire for a show in Uptown, take a stroll through the festive streets of surrounding towns or slide across pop-up ice-skating rinks as you make magical and merry memories.

When you’ve found your forever person, you want your life together to begin in a special way that speaks to who you both are. From the top of a mountain to the middle of a lake, from a public rooftop to a secluded garden, when you're ready to drop to one knee, these are some of the most romantic places to propose in Charlotte.
