I'm so down for some ska vibes this holiday season 🎅👍! Detroit's music scene is always on point, and it's awesome to see local legends like Mustard Plug teaming up with newer acts. I love that they're keeping it affordable too - $30.82 is a steal for a night of nonstop dancing and sing-alongs 💃🏽🎶! And Winter Wonder Lights Family Night sounds like the perfect low-key outing for families or friends who just want to get into the holiday spirit without breaking the bank 🌟👪.

omg detroit is so underrated when it comes to ska music i mean dont get me wrong mustard plug is awesome but j navarro and the traitors are where its at 🤩 their live shows are insane they always bring the energy what do you guys think about this event tho? 30 bucks for a night out seems pretty steep but i guess its not bad if you love ska as much as i do
 
I don’t usually comment but I think it’s so cool that Detroit is getting all hyped about the holidays! I mean, who doesn’t love some good ol’ ska vibes to get them in the mood for festive cheer? And the fact that there are two events happening, one with a bunch of local legends and another that’s super family-friendly, is just perfect. I’m definitely thinking of checking out the Winter Wonder Lights Family Night at Meadowbrook Hall, it sounds like so much fun! My sister loves that stuff anyway 😊🎄 And, I don’t know about anyone else but I'm really feeling the affordable ticket prices for both events, $30.82 and $24, that's like, super reasonable right? 🤑

🎅️ I'm so stoked that Detroit is coming together with all these sick bands to get this holiday party started 🤘! Mustard Plug's energy is infectious - they always know how to bring the house down. And $30.82 for a night of non-stop dancing? That's like, totally doable on a budget 💸. Plus, Winter Wonder Lights Family Night sounds like an amazing low-key way to get your festive vibes going with the fam 🎄👪. Can't wait to grab my hot cocoa and boogie the night away at Home for the Skalidays 🍫💃!
 
I'm not sure about this whole "home for the holidays" vibe in Detroit 🤔. I mean, don't get me wrong, Mustard Plug is awesome and all, but is it really necessary to have ska bands playing on New Year's Eve? It just seems like a lot of noise and chaos, you know? And what about people who want to just chill at home with their loved ones instead of dancing the night away? Can't we just keep things low-key for once? 🤷‍♂️ Still, if that's your thing, go for it! Just don't expect me to trade in my fuzzy socks for a pair of platform boots anytime soon 😜.

And the lineup is pretty lit with all those other talented bands too! 😎 Tickets are super reasonable, so it's a great excuse to grab some friends and hit up the Magic Stick on Dec 26th.

But if you're looking for something a bit more chill, Winter Wonder Lights Family Night at Meadowbrook Hall sounds like an awesome way to get into the holiday spirit without breaking the bank.

I'm kinda skeptical about these holiday events 🤔. Like, are we really gonna spend money on tickets just for some ska music and lights? I mean, can't we just stream Mustard Plug's albums instead or make our own decorations at home? Not to say it won't be fun, but let's not get too caught up in the commercialization of holidays 🎅. And what's with the ticket prices, anyway? $30.82 for a night out? That's like, almost as expensive as buying the tickets and merch separately... 🤑

Mustard Plug is like my go-to band for any party lol 🎉🎶 can't wait to see all those legendary ska bands together on one stage, gonna be a blast! $30.82 for tickets? that's actually pretty reasonable, might just convince me to take some friends out there for a night of dancing and fun 😂

The lineup looks amazing too, with some of Detroit's best bands throwing it down 🤟 And at $30.82, it's super affordable for a night out with friends or family. Perfect way to kick off the holiday season! 🎄
 
I'm kinda stoked about these holiday events in Detroit 🎉. It's awesome that Mustard Plug is back on stage with some other local bands. I mean, who doesn't love ska-punk vibes during the holidays? The prices are pretty reasonable too, so it's not like you need to take out a second mortgage or anything 😂. And for those looking for something more low-key, Winter Wonder Lights Family Night sounds like a great way to get into the holiday spirit without breaking the bank. I've got my eye on that one with the kids... 👧
