10 There are plenty of reasons to get excited about January — no, really! In this week’s is­sue, we look at 25 (-ish) reasons to get excited about the first month of 2025 (the “-ish” is because we actually pack a lot of events into many of those 25 items). Looking for reasons to get out — into the city, into the cold or into a new adventure — now that we’ve left the holidays behind? Here are at least 25 ideas for what to do.

ALSO ON THE COVER Relax with some tea and sandwiches at Honey Cup Cafe and Tearoom (page 20). Pizzastock offers music, pizza and healing (page 26). This week’s art section looks at three new shows: at See Saw Art, New Hampshire Antiques Co-op and 3S Artspace (it starts on page 14).

See You Later, 2024! In this week’s issue we look back at some of the significant happenings from 2024 — in the business community (page 6), in sports (page 7), in arts (page 10), in food (page 18), in film (page 26) and in the local music scene (page 28). And we take a look ahead at 2025 — let’s give the year one last look before it fades away.

Also on the cover And before we turn the calendar to 2025, send the year off with some fun. Check out our listing of some local restaurants’ plans for the big night on page 18. On page 30 we take a look at some of the parties, musical performances and comedy scheduled for Dec. 31. We even have some ways for the kids to celebrate as well as other ideas for family fun on page 16. And for fun any day during this between-y time week, check out the Music This Week (page 34) for live music at area restaurants and breweries.

Time for snacks! Whether you’re gathering a crowd for a screening of Elf or catching up on Yellowstone in a quiet moment, you need snacks. And there is no better snack for kicking back than popcorn — a sometimes salty, sometimes sweet highly snackable treat. In this week’s issue, John Fladd talks to popcorn experts and does some recipe tinkering to create some corn delights.

Also on the cover And what goes better with popcorn than movies? Amy Diaz offers a look at new holiday films for kids, families, grown-ups and people who argue that Die Hard is a Christmas movie (page 28). John also checks out some seasonal brews from area beer makers (page 22). Or perhaps you want to enjoy the season’s lights? In this week’s Kiddie Pool (page 20) we list some of the spots to find holiday lights, and Michael Witthaus takes a closer look at LaBelle Lights on page 32.
