November is just about halfway done and that means the end of fall is near. Weather gets colder and smoothie consumption falls off because people choose to consume warm foods and beverages instead.
People prefer hot cocoa, coffee, heated pastries and soups in lieu of cold smoothies and Acai bowls. It’s just how the human being is wired.
Pumpkins and even Christmas lights, instead of surfboards and towels drying in the sun, adorn the exterior of homes in November. People swap out their shorts and sandals for jeans and sweaters. The season has officially changed.
But don’t fear, there is still plenty to look forward to in the Corolla area of the Outer Banks, North Carolina. You can spend your free time this off-season by previewing the beloved Annual Christmas Craft Village at Whalehead in Historic Corolla Park (kicking off November 28, 2025).
