Looking to feel the festive energy of the holiday season? Lucky for you we have planned the perfect day that screams ‘tis the season.
Coffee & Treats
There is no better way to start the day than with a holly jolly cup of joe. There are coffee and tea shops around every corner in Lincoln, so now is a great time to try something new! Take it a step further and venture to Harbor Coffeehouse, The Mill or Crescent Moon for limited-edition lattes and breakfast treats.
Indoor Holiday Harvest Market
The Holiday Harvest Market has made its return to Lincoln! Swing by and stroll through the festive space while shopping for local goods, produce and farmed items. From herbs and fresh vegetables to sweet sugar cookies, there is something here for everyone!
Lunch
It’s no secret that Lincoln is filled with tasty lunch spots, so you really cannot go wrong! If you are looking for some comfort foods, try Bison Witches for a soup and sandwich combination. On the other hand, if you are in the mood for something different, try a specialty slice of pizza from Yia Yia’s or a gyro from Sultan’s Kite.
Holiday Shopping
The Star City is home to amazing secondhand stores and thrift locations. So, whether you are looking for a new holiday outfit for yourself or last-minute shopping for friends and family, secondhand is the way to go! Not only is thrifting sustainable, but every piece holds a story. Check out Ruby Begonia’s, Budde’s Thrift Shop, Great Plains Vintage and so, so many more.
Holiday Show at the Lied
The Lied is now showing some holiday hits, like The Nutcracker, The Magic of The Holidays and the Midtown Men — Holiday Hits. But don’t wait, tickets are on sale now and the shows are just around the corner! Grab a friend, invite family or better yet — get a group together to see a show.
Miracle at Robber’s Cave
If you have never experienced the Miracle at Robber’s Cave, let this be your sign to put it on your to-do list this season. Imagine a space covered in wrapping paper, lights, Santa, presents — and then imagine a little bit more. That is Miracle at Robber’s Cave! Don’t forget to make a reservation, space is limited!
Zoo Lights
End the night with a Holiday staple — fun, festive, beautiful lights at Lincoln Children’s Zoo! Don’t let the name fool you, Zoo Lights is for everyone, of every age.
