Your K-Cup Has Been Sitting in a Warehouse for Months
That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting — which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is.
Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness.
Mix and match from 50+ specialty coffees, teas, and flavored blends — all Keurig®-compatible — and save more with every box you add, up to 34% off at 12+. Order once whenever you're running low, or subscribe for an extra 5% if that's easier. Entirely up to you.
New customers get 15% off their first order — applied automatically, no code needed.
"Unto Us" - 110 Musicians, One Night of Christmas Worship
There's nothing quite like hearing the songs of Christmas performed by a full choir and orchestra. Central Bearden (6300 Deane Hill Drive) presents "Unto Us," its Christmas Concert, on December 13th, at 7:00 PM.
The Central Bearden Choir & Orchestra, more than 110 musicians strong, will fill the evening with beautiful Christmas music and worship celebrating the birth of Christ. It's a wonderful way to slow down, gather with family, and soak in the true meaning of the season.
The concert is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:30 PM.
Bluegrass for the Holidays with Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder
Christmas sounds even better with a mandolin. Country and bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs brings Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder Christmas to the historic Tennessee Theatre (604 S. Gay Street) on December 3rd, at 7:30 PM.
Skaggs and his award-winning band Kentucky Thunder are known for their lightning-fast picking and tight harmonies, and this holiday tour pairs that signature sound with the songs of the season. It's a perfect night out for bluegrass fans and anyone who loves a down-home Christmas.
Doors open at 6:30 PM. Free parking is available in the State Street Garage behind the theatre after 6 PM on weekdays. More Info

Business Doctor Tip: Your Energy Sets the Room
John asks the room to say “good morning” at a normal level 6. Then a bit more, with a smile. Then a level 10: out of your seat, high fives, a whistle if you can. Before the last round he says, “Look to the person to your right... their entire future depends on what you do right now.” It’s a joke, but there’s truth in it. Your team, clients and referral partners pick up the energy you bring. Level 10 isn’t about being loud. It’s about choosing to show up fully.

Piano Magic for the Season at Jim Brickman's "A Christmas Celebration"
If your holidays have a soundtrack, there's a good chance Jim Brickman is on it. The beloved pianist and songwriter brings his "A Christmas Celebration" tour to the intimate Bijou Theatre (803 S. Gay Street) on December 6th, at 7:30 PM.
Brickman's warm, romantic piano style and familiar holiday favorites make for a cozy, heartfelt evening, a lovely date night or a special outing with Mom or Grandma. The Bijou's intimate setting makes every seat feel close to the music. More Info
"Candlelight: Christmas Carols on Strings" at the Knoxville Museum of Art
Imagine your favorite Christmas carols played by a string quartet in a room glowing with candles. Candlelight: Christmas Carols on Strings comes to the Knoxville Museum of Art (1050 World's Fair Park Drive) on December 18th.
The Listeso String Quartet performs a 60-minute concert of beloved holiday carols in a beautiful candlelit setting. It's a peaceful, elegant way to slow down during the busiest week of the season.
Good to know: the concert is for ages 8 and up, and guests under 16 must be with an adult. Doors open 45 minutes before the show, and latecomers won't be admitted. Seating is first come, first served within each ticket zone. More Info
