With Gillette Stadium hosting several games in the 2026 World Cup, it’s hard to imagine a sports-obsessed state like Massachusetts not falling in love hard and fast.
Here’s what you should check out this week:
Movie night: Head to Rockville for a drive-in screening of the classic Christmas comedy
Elf. Wednesday 12/23; $12 per adult, buy tickets here.
Tune in: The U.S. Botanic Gardens are closed, but its annual free concert tradition will continue online. This week, see local singer-songwriter Chris Urquiaga, a.k.a. JChris, perform pop, R&B, and Latin songs in a variety of languages. Tuesday 12/22 at 5:30 PM; Free, watch it here.
Stretch out: Take a holiday-themed yoga class with Past Tense Yoga’s Jenna Grubman. She’ll lead a family-friendly “Jingle Bell” vinyasa flow. You can virtually invite a buddy with a complimentary pass, too. Thursday 12/24 at 10 AM; $18 (email kelly@pasttensestudio.com for the free pass) register here.
