Grab Your Coat: Homestead’s Winter Wonderland Ice Rink is Open!

There’s a coat hidden deep in your closet just waiting for a day like this! Homestead’s newest winter attraction has officially arrived, and the city is buzzing with excitement.

Vice Mayor Jenifer Bailey said it best:
“Homestead is where you need to be this December.”

Holiday Cheer in the Heart of Homestead

The city is spreading holiday cheer with its **first annual Winter Wonderland**—a beautiful concept bringing the whole community together.
Jenifer Bailey shared,
“Winter Wonderland is a beautiful concept that came to be in the City of Homestead, where we are offering different experiences for all of our residents to come and enjoy.”

The Biggest Ice Skating Rink in South Florida

The main attraction? A real outdoor ice skating rink right in the heart of Losner Park!
Jenifer Bailey said,
“We have the biggest ice skating rink in South Florida.”

Ice in the Sunshine State?

Ice skating in South Florida sounds impossible, so we had to ask—how does it work?
Jenifer Bailey joked,
“Our ice rink is pretty magical, I’m not sure exactly how it works but I’m pretty sure that Santa Claus himself had something to do with it.”

Located in Losner Park’s center, Vice Mayor Bailey believes this moment is overdue for Homestead.

Everyone’s Loving It!

Guests are already thrilled:
“This is pretty nice. I think it’s fun for the community, fun for the people.”

Best of all, you don’t have to be a Homestead resident to join the fun.
Jenifer Bailey explained,
“Winter Wonderland is especially for our Homestead residents, but it is also an opportunity for us to bring other people to our city.”

Artist provides insight, background on iconic FIFA World Cup 2026 Miami poster

MIAMI (WSVN) With the kickoff inching closer, 7News is getting a closer look at the artist behind the iconic FIFA Miami piece that was unveiled in Wynwood earlier this year. The official FIFA World Cup 26 Miami host city poster captures the essence of Miami’s dynamic culture and community. Artist Rubem Robierb, who is a part time South Florida resident, said he used some kickin’ creativity to fit all of South Florida’s magic into one frame. “As an artist, it’s a huge honor to represent the City of Miami. It’s such a global stage,” he said. Robierb said the poster showcases Miami as a city where art, culture, and futbol unite in a bold and diverse celebration. “An image that everyone from all over the world, as soon as they see the image, they will immediately relate to Miami, and that’s what we did,” he said. The artist said that making the poster was a bit of a challenge, as he tried to fit all that makes the city special into one artwork. But he believes the final product manages to do that very well. “As an artist, it was really special that opportunity to do that poster because representing the City of Miami in such a global stage and connecting with such a big audience is a blessing for us, as an artist, because you are not close just in the art world, but you bring your art to everyone,” said Robierb. He gave 7News a deep dive into what each part of the poster represents. For example, the ball represents Miami as a cultural melting pot with every neighborhood represented. The background, including the crowd on the beach, depicts people welcoming those from around the world. But he said the highlight of it all was the flamingo. “For me, it’s the most unofficial symbol of Miami because people from all over the world relate flamingos with Miami, and I want to make the flamingo really fun, really playful, and that’s why I picture the flamingo as a soccer player,” said Robierb. He said he put his own finishing touches on the poster, adding a splash of glitter to top it off. Since its unveiling, the artist says he’s happy about what he’s heard about the poster and the opportunity to connect with people around the world. “Me and FIFA Miami, we are really happy about the feedback we got from the poster, because we got to connect with people all over the world. Here in Miami, everyone feels represented, everyone. If you’re from Hialeah or from South Beach or from Coconut Grove, you will see yourself here in the poster because you know what represents you,” said Robierb. The poster is one of 16 distinctive posters representing each host city in next year’s World Cup. It’s the first time in World Cup history that each host city is commemorated with its own bespoke artwork. Copyright.

Consumers look for best retailer deals as holiday shopping begins

Consumers are showing off their holiday spirit online as they begin to look for the best deals ahead of Christmas. With just under 50 days to go, the Halloween items packed away and the holiday decorations unpacked, Americans are ready to spend on Christmas gifts.

According to the National Retail Federation, Americans are planning to spend around $890 per person to buy holiday gifts, food, decor, and more in 2025. However, this number is actually less than in 2024, when U.S. shoppers spent a record $902 per person.

Experts say the largest piece of the holiday spending pie is gifts, with more than $600 expected to go toward presents this year.

Amid challenges such as the government shutdown, inflation, and tariffs weighing heavily on many consumers, shoppers are desperate for deals. “Consumers are embracing discount stores as a part of their shopping list this year. They are prioritizing big box retailers and dollar stores while having less interest in outlet stores and e-commerce sites,” said Mary Hines Droesch, Head of Consumer and Small Business Products and Analytics at Bank of America.

Some retailers are now offering early Black Friday savings on everything from holiday decor to select toys. Even places like Wayfair are boasting discounts of up to 70% off cookware, Christmas trees, furniture, and more.

Experts say it is never too early to start saving for the holidays.
