Snuggle up with some holiday cheer as OnMilwaukee shares stories of everything merry and bright in the spirit of the season.

The OnMilwaukee Ho Ho Holiday Guide is brought to you by Educators Credit Union, Harley-Davidson Museum and MolsonCoors

Winter is coming, but let's keep the outdoor Milwaukee party rolling. Here's a list of tents, domes, yurts and greenhouses ready to help us embrace snow season.

Most places are currently taking reservations now, but starting for the last week of November. Sessions are usually between 75-minute and two-hour time slots, require a rental fee or deposit and have a minimum purchase policy. Follow the links for specific requirements at each location.
