The Orlando Philharmonic has announced their slate of holiday shows set to finish out the year, and they're all outdoors – which is like a nice lil' early gift.

The Phil will go on a sort of mini-tour, taking over Festival Park, Winter Park's Central Park, the Plaza Live's new outdoor stage, and the Apopka Amphitheater during the tail end of November and December to present an array of seasonal sound – from holiday pops to the Brandenburg Concerto to something for the kids – with some special guests.

Here's the full rundown:
