Made in Market: Pizza-Making Class
Your whole family is probably in town for Christmas, so what better time for a fun, adults-only cooking class? The Market will host a pizza-making class where the chef will guide guests in making the dough from scratch, including how to stretch and shape it, and will let guests choose their favorite toppings. The best part is always the end when the pizzas are ready to taste, and who knows, maybe it will be a new addition to the Christmas Day menu. 7 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, December 22, at 2901 Collins Ave., Miami Beach. Tickets cost $50 and include two handmade pizzas and a drink via eventbrite.com.

Where to Eat on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in Miami
Christmas Eve is already this Sunday, and for some families, that is considered Christmas Day (because of the Nochebuena feast). With so many options to choose from on both days, New Times curated a list of where to eat for Feast of the Seven Fishes, Christmas Eve, and Nochebuena this year on Sunday, December 24, and Monday, December 25.

Latin Cafe 2000’s Hot Chocolate and Churros
It’s cold in Miami (under 75 degrees), so here is something to warm you up. Latin Cafe 2000 is serving a specialty hot chocolate with churros. Brickell residents are in luck if they want to try the boozy version, as it will be offered exclusively at that location and made with Havana Club Añejo Classico and a marshmallow topping. Through December 31, at the Brickell, LeJeune, and Hialeah locations; latincafe.com.
