12 Favorites of a Cocoa Christmas
The shopping is bountiful, the weather delightful.  Put on your Santa hat for a day in this
breezy village by the river.

  For me, jingle bells sound their brightest under the cheerful Florida sun.  Far from the cold North Pole, historic cocoa Village feels like a workshop of elves scurrying to find the best gifts under palm trees and blue skies.  Join me as I open up a dozen of the town’s best holiday offerings…

11. Ulysses’ Prime Steakhouse.
After a hard day of gift finding, I treat myself to one of the best steak houses in all Florida.  Choose from Kobe rib eyes, bison steaks, generous porterhouses, and filet mignons.  Maybe if I leave Santa a gift certificate from here on Christmas Eve, I’ll be on his good girl list.
