Looking for recommendations for a flying visit to Dublin? Only one day (late PM flight home) - 2 women, no kids, men etc! Looking for Christmassy bits to do and food recommendations

Off the top of my head & all fairly close together in the city centre...

Go to the Christmas shop in Brown Thomas on Grafton Street
Wander through George's Arcade & around Drury Street/Fade Street/Georges Street & South William Street including Powerscourt Centre for the decorations
The Ginger Man pub is v.festive or P Mac's is cozy or cocktails in the bar at The Westbury Hotel
Guinness Storehouse or one of the whiskey distillery tours
Walk through St. Stephen's Green park/Dublin Castle/Trinity College
Marsh's Library and/or The Little Museum of Dublin for a bit of history
See if there's a show that suits at The Gaiety Theatre
Food, fairly random suggestions...
Balfe's, Bambino for a pizza slice, Uno Mas (if you can get a reservation), Drury Buildings, Yamamori, Row)
Temple bar is overpriced and can be chaotic but no harm walking through to see it, the name escapes me but one pub in particular there is a popular photo op with a xmas tree & lights on the facade.
I'd personally also give O'Connell Street a miss.
Hope you both have a lovely time.

Ireland isn't in the UK.

When did I say it was?
