5 Holiday Date Ideas In Charlotte, NC
Charlotte Magazine

Christmas is a little over a week away, and as school is ending for the year and vacation days are starting, maybe you're looking for a date idea in the Charlotte area. While Charlotte is full of many things to do year-round, during the holidays they offer many unique events as well.

Holidays at the Hall

The NASCAR Hall of Fame offers ice skating all throughout the holidays. From early in the day, to late at night, you can go and ice skate right in Uptown Charlotte. For admission and skate rental, it's only $14 per person!

Speedway Christmas

The Charlotte Motor Speedway gives you the opportunity to go and drive through the track and look at Christmas lights. They also offer a Christmas Village with a petting zoo, live nativity, carriage rides, and more. I've been three times, and enjoyed it every time. On nights with the Christmas village, costs are $30 a car, and other nights it is $20.

Holidays at the Garden

The Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens, transform into a winter wonderland during the holidays. They offer carriage rides throughout the gardens as well. Tickets are $14.95 and carriage rides are $6 a person.

The Nutcracker

Enjoy the classic show put on by the Charlotte Ballet. Performances are at the Belk Theater and tickets range anywhere from $25-125.

Christmas Town USA

Just a quick drive from the heart of Charlotte is McAdenville, NC. During the holidays, the entire town transforms into a Christmas wonderland. You can drive through the town and look at the lights, or park and walk.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
