Last night, we wandered into the heart of downtown Minneapolis and found ourselves surrounded by holiday magic. 🌃✨

At Holidazzle, Nicollet Mall sparkled with twinkling lights, the Minnesota Vikings Skol Line filled the air with rhythm, and the giant Yeti puppet stole the show. Even the cold couldn’t stop us from joining in a few outdoor games under the festive glow. ♟️

Just steps away, we explored the Dayton’s Holiday Market inside The Dayton's Project, where local artisans and makers (including our amigos at EL BURRITO MERCADO!) brought the space to life with unique treasures. ❤

Upstairs, we were transported back in time by Twin Cities PBS’s “Remember the Magic” display — a heartfelt tribute to Dayton’s iconic 8th-floor holiday traditions, now streaming on the PBSApp and YouTube. 📺

It was a night of warmth, nostalgia, and community — a perfect celebration of the season in Minneapolis. ❄️🎄⭐️
