Part of our ongoing curation of what it means to live, love, and play in the Magic City.
Christmas Wonderland at Tropical Park — South Florida's largest holiday attraction — opens Thursday, November 12, 2026, and runs through January 3, 2027. This year it arrives with a new addition: the Nu Marketplace, a European-style holiday market along Tinsel Trail, developed in partnership with Nu, one of the world's largest digital financial platforms.
The Nu Marketplace is a lane of twinkling holiday kiosks stocked with handcrafted ornaments, seasonal treats, festive gifts, and keepsakes from local makers. The setting draws on the classic European Christmas market — warm lights, the scent of cocoa and roasted nuts, carols drifting through the air. Nu cardholders receive 20% off all purchases at the Marketplace, access through a dedicated Nu Lane, and a holiday photo opportunity at the Nu Chalet.
Season hours: Monday through Thursday, 5–11 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 5 p.m.–midnight; Sunday, 4–10 p.m. Tickets and information at miamiwonderland.com. Nu cardholders can download the Nu app (iOS and Android) and apply before their visit to access cardholder benefits.
This is Play Miami — the city's stage, its courts, its dancefloors and event calendars. From Art Basel to the concert arenas, from nightlife to the festivals that define the season, this is how Miami plays.
