Pajamas, Pancakes, and Peppermint Socks: A Very NoVo Holiday Morning
How we wrapped up the year with waffles, fruit, and festive flair at our Downtown Madison apartments.
At NoVo, we believe the best way to spread holiday cheer is… waffles. And fruit. And maybe some socks with snowflakes and candy canes.
This December, our residents kicked off the season with a cozy holiday breakfast, complete with fresh bananas, juicy clementines, a tower of apples, and enough granola bars to fuel a full day of festive fun. Our community lounge turned into a holly jolly hotspot, filled with the smell of waffles crisping up in the iron and the sight of friends gathered around festive décor, mugs in hand. (Yes, there was coffee. We’re not monsters.)
And because no winter celebration is complete without a little surprise, we topped it off with a special treat: a bucket overflowing with funky, cheerful holiday socks. From classic holiday prints to bold and cozy designs, these socks were a crowd favorite. Perfect for keeping toes warm during snowy strolls around the First Settlement neighborhood.


Why We Love Where We Live (and Think You Might Too)
This kind of celebration is just one of the many things that makes life at NoVo feel like home, especially in a walkable, lively neighborhood like Downtown Madison. When you live just steps from the Capitol, with two lakes and the city’s best trails and cafés within walking distance, it's easy to find reasons to celebrate. And to wear your new socks out and about. Bold move. We support it.
If you're searching for apartments near Madison’s Capitol, Downtown Madison apartments, or simply want to live somewhere that understands the power of a good waffle and a great sock, NoVo might be your spot.
