It’s holiday season, and I just LOVE this time of year! Luckily, there is no shortage of events and great places to get festive this time of year in Memphis. Keep reading because I’m sharing my top 10 thing to do in Memphis, places to go, and events to attend with your significant other during the holidays. Most of the mare family friendly too if you end up taking the kids too. = )
Things to Do in Memphis this Winter as a Couple
1.) Have brunch at the Liquor Store – Their Miracle Pop up will be here soon, and if you’re looking for a great place to eat with festive decorations, drinks and such a great holiday vibe, this is it! We go several times every holiday season, and it’s always a blast!
2.) Go to Holiday Wonders at Memphis Botanic Garden – Select nights starting 11/29/24 with different themes, and they are perfect for a date night!
3.) Take a tour at Graceland – Christmas at Graceland start 11/21/24. They will have a holiday lighting ceremony, movie showings and other fun events for the holiday season. Plus Graceland will be decorated for Christmas, and it’s the perfect time to take a tour and then have night away at the Guest House at Graceland.
4.) Have dinner at drinks at Tiger & Peacock at the Memphian Hotel – Since this hotel opened a couple years ago, we have already been several times every single year! It is in such great location with tons of great places within walking distance. They have a piano in the lobby and are doing music in the lobby on certain nights during the holiday season. The rooftop bar is also a favorite spot of ours!
5.) Have drinks at the lobby bar at Peabody – The tree lighting takes places on 11/29/24 and you won’t want to miss it. We have been there a couple times for it, and it is so fun! Get there early! If you come anytime afterwards, the tree will be up and you will love how festive it is! it’s always such a fun night at Peabody during the holidays.
6.) See a show at the Orpheum – The Soiree takes place on 11/15 and is such a fun night and event that you won’t want to miss! And make sure you catch Peter Pan from 11/26/24 to 12/1/24. And the Nutcracker is 12/13/24-12/15/24. There is nothing more magical than being at the Orpheum during Christmas!
7.) Check out Atrium Lighting at Crosstown Concourse – 12/6/24 from 10:00am-4:00pm. They will also be having their lighting ceremony soon this month. There is so much to do here at Crosstown, and it is even more special during the holidays!
8.) Go by Priddy Farms and stroll through the Christmas trees – We always get an artificial Christmas tree each year, but that doesn’t stop Matt and I (and the kids!) from gooing and looking. It is definitely magical strolling around at a Christmas tree farm. Plus they typically have a food truck with treats too. Perfect for a little afternoon together!
9.) Check out the Holiday Open House at Dixon Gallery & Gardens – It takes place on 12/7/24 and you won’t want to miss it. During the holiday season, it’s the perfect time to stop by the Dixon, walk around and check out the gallery and gardens and grab lunch there too. The restaurant is so good!
