Dear Readers,
Welcome to a dazzling gift—our special
three-month issue of Discover The
Phoenix Region Magazine, stretching from
December 2024 through February 2025!
As your editor, I’m beyond excited to share
this hefty edition, perfectly timed to kick
off the calendar year with a burst of desert
magic. We’re taking a grand detour from
our usual rhythm to bring you a triple dose
of Phoenix’s winter wonders—think snow-
dusted peaks, festive lights, and blooming
possibilities—before settling back into our
bimonthly groove in March. This is the
Valley at its most vibrant, and I can’t wait
for you to dive into the adventure with me.
Our pages sparkle with seasonal delights:
shred the unexpected slopes of Arizona
Snowbowl—our cover story—sip Arizona’s
finest wines at Sedona’s Vino Zona, or bake
your way through a desert Noel with holiday
treats. For the soul, we’ve got tips to master
your mindset through life’s challenges,
while green thumbs will love our guide to
crafting a Phoenix gardening oasis. Unwind
at Arizona’s top massage destinations, savor
the region’s best bites in our dining guide,
and explore Old Town Cottonwood’s dozen
years of transformation. It’s a lineup that
celebrates every facet of life here—from
the thrill of the outdoors to the quiet joys
of home.
We’re also shining a light on what sustains
us: Waste Management’s green vision
for Phoenix and SRP’s innovative water
saving efforts keep our desert thriving.
For pet lovers, a Red Cross-sourced guide
to pet CPR could be a lifesaver, proving
there’s always more to learn in this vibrant
community. This issue is Phoenix in full
bloom—resilient, flavorful, and brimming
with heart. So, grab a cozy spot, turn the
page, and let’s make this winter a season to
remember!
Warmly,
Marie Taylor
