Christmas in Southern California: Santa Monica lights up the coast.
Imagine the twinkling lights and festive atmosphere of the holiday season on the Pacific coast. The most famous city on the West Coast of the United States is transformed into a winter wonderland, inviting travelers to discover its unique charms. On the program: skating under the stars surrounded by palm trees, festive menus in renowned restaurants, artisan markets and enchanted encounters with Santa Claus and the local community.
Family-friendly Santa Monica comes alive with the holidays – With its prime beachfront setting, Santa Monica is the perfect place to create family memories during the holidays. In addition to the lighting of the 15-meter-high Christmas tree decorated with more than 100,000 lights, visitors can enjoy numerous festive activities, including a 2,000 m2 outdoor ice rink, a Christmas market offering artisanal products, gifts, as well as shows, concerts and events for children. Many local restaurants offer seasonal menus, while Christmas markets and shopping events add to the holiday spirit.
Restaurants, merchants and boutiques offer a range of festive activities for locals and visitors. Whether it’s free art installations on the iconic Third Street Promenade and Santa Monica Pier, a snow bubble ballerina show at Santa Monica Place, or shopping on streets decorated for the holidays like Main Street, Montana Avenue and Pico Boulevard, vibrant Santa Monica continues to shine during the holidays while keeping its community safe and healthy. Known for its charitable and solidarity actions towards its community, Santa Monica organizes food and clothing drives throughout the winter season, notably at The Ambrose Hotel, Le Meridien Delfina Santa Monica, Viceroy Santa Monica and at the Visitor Main Street Center.
The city’s food scene heats up – During the holidays, Santa Monica transforms into a foodie’s paradise. Renowned restaurants offer exclusive Christmas menus. There you can find traditional Christmas dishes revisited, the opportunity to taste the favorite dishes of Chef Runyon of the Shutters at the Beach hotel at the 1 Pico restaurant, or even traditional dishes from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, such as Colorado lamb fillet and eggnog crème brûlée, or the famous carving station and Bloody Mary bar at Fig Restaurant at the Fairmont Miramar Hotels & Bungalows.
Local pastry shops and restaurants compete in creativity to offer unique sweets: richly decorated cakes, tarts with seasonal flavors, and revisited traditional sweets. These desserts are the perfect opportunity to end a festive meal on a note of indulgence and sharing. Treat yourself to the famous rose petal tart from Birdie G’s to top off your festive dinner!
