White Christmas at Harold’s Cabin, 247 Congress St., Charleston, Tuesday, Nov. 14-early Jan. 2024

Upstairs at Harold’s Cabin will soon become a winter wonderland filled with nostalgia for a “snowy Christmas at the Cabin.” The centerpiece will be an upside-down Christmas tree filled with snowflakes and iridescent tinsel. The team has also prepared dishes and cocktails perfect for this holiday season. Pro tip: We heard the team began the process for the fermented eggnog months ago and and has been perfecting the recipe since summer.

Little Pine at The Ryder Hotel, 237 Meeting St., Charleston, Thursday, Nov. 16-Monday, Jan. 8, 2024

The hotel’s Little Palm bar and restaurant will transform into Little Pine, offering individuals in Charleston an après ski experience. The menu will have seasonal food and cocktails with the coziness of a ski lodge.
