Your Guide to December 2025 in Nashville

You cannot escape the Christmas holiday in Nashville this month, so we’re leaning in — but we’ve also got some options for those who need a break. Host Marie Cecile Anderson, producer Daniel Sumstine, and newsletter editor Margaret Kingsbury are chatting about their favorite things to see, hear, and do this month, from flute choirs to New Year’s Eve baby raves. If you’re looking for even MORE options, we’ve featured some great activities and important news stories across the city in recent episodes: We put together a list of the best kid-friendly holiday events in town, and celebrity chef Christina Tosi joined us to talk about Nashville’s best bakeries. We learned about our booming art scene, and mourned some long-lost Nashville businesses we miss. We also covered the SNAP crisis and a new approach to affordable housing. And if you’re voting in tomorrow’s election between Rep. Aftyn Behn and Matt Van Epps, we’ve got the outside analysis you need to make sense of it all.
