We know that Florida isn’t exactly considered a winter wonderland, but that doesn’t mean we don’t bring the holiday cheer—our wild way. In this low-key episode of Drinks with Floridaman, we dive into the big debate: does Florida even have real holiday traditions, or are we just slapping tinsel on a palm tree and calling it a day? From seriously sandy Santas to unique local celebrations, we’re breaking down what makes the holidays in Florida special (or not). And, after all, who really wants to shovel snow? 🎄☀️

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
