1. Let's Glow SF, the country's largest holiday projection event, returns to downtown San Francisco through December 10. This free outdoor holiday event uses high-tech Panasonic projectors and lasers to project large-scale art concepts across the facade of six iconic SF buildings from 5-10 PM nightly.
   
2. One of San Francisco's favorite annual traditions is the Annual Holiday Tree Lighting Celebration in Golden Gate Park, happening this year on Thursday, December 7 from 4-8 PM, and featuring live music, cookie decorating, carnival rides, food trucks, and more! Additionally, Entwined: Elder Mother will debut in front of Peacock Meadow.
   
3. With the chilly weather we've been having lately, indulging in a gourmet hot chocolate sounds very appealing. See 12 Essential Places To Enjoy Decadent Hot Chocolate In San Francisco. Which one will you try first?
   
4. The seasonal Fort Point Candlelight Tour is a one-of-a-kind experience taking you through all four levels of the historic fort, including the roof. This evening tour is ranger-led and lanterns are provided. Tickets are released 2 weeks in advance of each tour now through February.
   
5. Another long-running San Francisco tradition is Kung Pao Kosher Comedy—Jewish comedy on Christmas in a Chinese restaurant. Tickets available for six shows this year from December 23-25 in-person at Imperial Palace Restaurant, or via livestream.
