It’s happening again: wreaths and ribbons adorn store shelves, holiday car sale commercials interrupt your shows and maybe Christmas lights already brightened the home of the overly enthusiastic neighbor on your block. Don’t resist it—the holidays are here, and a sure sign can be seen twinkling along Highway 80: Global Winter Wonderland. Get lost with your family in a maze of glowing candy canes and reindeer in the North Pole area, and see lit replicas of well-known buildings from around the world. Sip cocoa and lace up for the ice rink, and end the night with live entertainment performances by fire dancers, marching bands and contortionists. Whether you’re old or young, this display of lights and holiday spirit will leave you giddy. 1600 Exposition Boulevard, www.globalwonderland.com.
