The holidays are definitely going to be different this year, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still be fun!
Here’s a roundup of holiday festivities from our Pacific Northwest team for some safe and socially distanced holiday cheer.
In the Pacific Northwest:
- You can still catch the Oregon Zoo’s annual ZooLights festival! This year’s event is an all drive-thru light display. You can reserve your tickets in advance here.*
- If you’re a runner or an avid walker, the Foot Traffic Virtual Holiday Half and Full Marathon is open for registration!
Viewable anywhere:
- For theater fans, Portland Center Stage at the Armory presents “Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol,” available on demand now through 1/3/21. Details here.*
- For holiday experiences from English style pantomime to Broadway, check out this list from the NYT.
If you feel like doing a little cookie decorating but don’t feel like baking:
- Check out this roundup of mail order cookie decorating kits.
- Petunia’s Pies and Pastries – Food allergies? No problem. This Portland, Oregon shop has mail order cookies and decorating kits for gluten free & vegan holiday goodness.
What could be more festive than helping those in need? Feeding America provides food to people in need through a nationwide food bank network. You can donate at their website!
Finally, if you’re just wanting to have a virtual holiday party with friends, try some Jackbox games. Play trivia, drawing, and other games with anybody anywhere.

From all of us at NV5, we wish you and yours a very merry and safe holiday season.
