"It's the last week of 2025, and all those other Do This, Do That events are so last year. Here's a fresh roundup to round out your week, including events featuring complicated comedians, hot vampires, and honky tonk opportunities. Plus, New Year's matcha and a journaling session set you up for self-actualized success in 2026-but before that, there's plenty to do on New Year's Eve. Cue the Peanuts gang singing " Auld Lang Syne"!"
"If you're the type of person who drives your family and friends around to different neighborhoods trying to find the best holiday light displays, this one's for you. A winter wonderland once again takes over the racetrack with hundreds of lighted set pieces that you can view from the warmth of your car. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Sunshine Division, a local nonprofit that works year-round to provide food and clothing to families in need."
"We are big fans of NYC-based comedian Josh Gondelman, whose credits include appearances on Conan, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and even the prestigious Portland Mercury's I, Anonymous Show. But his wit and wisdom can also be experienced through his writing for Showtime's Desus & Mero, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (for which he won FOUR Emmy awards... oooOOOoooh, fancy)."
