Hey listeners, I’m Oly Bennet, your globe-trotting sports nut loose in the Windy City, and Chicago is stacked with quirky, high-energy adventures this week and beyond.
If you love big-time sports with a side of frozen face, today you can hit Soldier Field for Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers in a classic NFC North showdown under the lights, with Ticketmaster listing kickoff the evening of December 20, 2025. Pre-game at Matilda’s Bears–Packers watch party with drink specials and a wall of screens so intense you’ll think you lined up at wide receiver.
For pure adrenaline chaos, professional bull riding storms the United Center with PBR’s Unleash the Beast, December 19–20, 2025, turning the home of the Bulls into an eight‑second rodeo of flying cowboys, as the PBR and United Center sites explain. That’s “deep-dish danger” energy.
Craving something weird and competitive? SPF Chicago is hosting the Santa vs Grinch Christmas Clash Tournament on December 20, 2025, according to EventTickets—perfect if your dream sport involves holiday smack-talk and social-media-bragging rights.
For icy vibes with Wrigleyville swagger, Winterland at Gallagher Way brings an outdoor ice rink, curling, rides, and cozy bars next to Wrigley Field, per Gallagher Way. It’s like a ballpark turned winter carnival—locals lace up skates, then warm up with drinks while posting rink selfies that flood Instagram.
On the artsy side, Chicago Theater reports that Cirque du Soleil’s ’Twas the Night Before is back at The Chicago Theatre December 11–28, 2025, with acrobatics, dance, and a holiday story that feels like Christmas got a gymnast. A local favorite winter flex: pregaming with cocktails in the Loop, then flexing those marquee photos.
If you want to dodge tourist traps but still feel iconic, hit Navy Pier’s Flyover Experience. ABC7 Chicago notes the Believe Chicago show soars you over the skyline and lakefront on a massive spherical screen with wind and mist—basically motion-sickness-as-art.
For low-key culture that still brings sport-level passion, head north to the 22nd Annual Winter Arts and Crafts Expo, running through December 20, 2025, on Chicago’s North Shore, as Visit Chicago North Shore details. Locals browse handmade art, jewelry, and prints—perfect for unique gifts and “I-found-this-before-it-was-cool” clout.
Food-wise, Chicago’s game is elite. ABC7 Chicago highlights Sanders BBQ Supply on the South Side, crowned one of the New York Times’ 50 Best Restaurants of 2025 and Best BBQ in Chicago by the Chicago Tribune. Imagine central Texas-style brisket so good it should come with a warning label. Then grab a chocolate-cake shake and Italian beef at Portillo’s, another ABC7 favorite, the ultimate post-game carb victory lap.
Between Bulls games (like their December home slate at the United Center) and neighborhood jazz bars, stand-up sets, and hidden cocktail lounges flagged constantly by sites like Secret Chicago, the city is a year-round highlight reel of sport, music, and mischief.
So layer up, charge your phone, and treat Chicago like the world’s biggest, coldest, friendliest stadium.
