Floridians know the scene outside their windows isn’t what matters, it’s the joy that is shared with family and friends. If you know anyone who still needs some convincing that Florida is a great place to explore during the winter months, these gorgeous parks and displays will get them in the holiday spirit right away. Take a look at the best things to do in winter in Florida.
