Celebrate the Holidays Near Skokie, IL, with Family, Friends, and Your New Nissan Rogue

No vehicle is better equipped for the holiday season than the Nissan Rogue. This compact SUV comes with a comfortable family-sized cabin with seats that can fold down to accommodate up to 70 cu. ft. of gifts. You can also opt for AWD for extra traction on those snowy drives.

Here are just a few ways to enjoy your Rogue near Skokie, Illinois, this holiday season.

Find the Perfect Sledding Hill

Few thrills beat the feeling of racing down a snowy slope. As soon as there’s snow on the ground, kids and adults alike take up their sleds and go find the best sledding hills. Expand your search radius with your Nissan Rogue. There’s enough cargo area to pack up your family’s sleds for the trip.

Skate with Santa

Get into the Christmas spirit with some ice skating. On December 16th, kids can meet jolly old St. Nick, enjoy games and crafts, and show off their skating skills at the Westfield Old Orchard rink in Skokie. There will be skating sessions throughout the day, as well as free photos with Santa from 6 pm – 7 pm. Parents will also be able to take care of some shopping while their kids play.

2017’s theme is Star Wars, so feel free to come in your best costume, something the Rogue is especially suited for.

Zoo Lights at Lincoln Park Zoo

Through December, the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago is transformed into a winter wonderland for Zoo Lights. Brilliant holiday lights and festive displays add even more magic to the already fun attraction. You’ll also be able to enjoy the animals in the daytime, making this a great all-day event.

Pick Up Your Christmas Tree

With available roof rails, the Rogue is a great vehicle to transport your Christmas tree easily. There are plenty of places around Cook County to find a tree, but our favorite is a bit off the beaten path. Ben’s Christmas Tree Farm offers nine varieties of gorgeous trees to choose from. They even bail your tree for free. The trees are only the beginning, with farm animals, complimentary horse-drawn wagon rides, and coffee and hot cocoa completing the holiday experience.

Located 90 minutes from Skokie, Ben’s Christmas Tree Farm is an easy day trip. Even longer drives are affordable thanks to the Rogue’s 33 highway mpg.

Christkindlmarket

One of Chicago’s oldest holiday traditions is the German-inspired Christkindlmarket. This open-air market fills Daley Plaza with vendors selling traditional German foods and other items like nutcrackers, cuckoo clocks, and ornaments. The market is set up at 11 a.m. every day through December 24th. Bring along your Rogue for plenty of cargo space for everything you buy.
