Photos with Santa in Seaside
Naturally, Santa is pretty popular this time of year. But he’ll be making his rounds on 30A to visit with you and your family. Meet him at Seaside for the Photos with Santa event. The beach is a beautiful backdrop to pose with Santa. It’s also a welcome change for him from his home in the North Pole! Kids will love meeting with him to share their Christmas lists. They’ll brag to their schoolmates how they go to hang out with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the beach during their holiday vacation.
Horse-Drawn Carriage Rides on Grand Boulevard
Get ready to clip-clop past the glittering storefronts of Grand Boulevard that are all adorned with twinkle lights, wreaths and garlands. Holiday music plays and the area is full of Christmas cheer. Bundle up and enjoy the ride.
The Nutcracker in Seaside
Who doesn’t love the Nutcracker during Christmastime? You’ll be happy to know that this performance is coming to Seaside. The open-air amphitheater sits right beside the ocean, making it a unique spot to take in this holiday play. Seeing the story come to live with beautiful costumes, expert choreography and a touching musical score will get you excited for the holidays. This activity is great for adults and children so bring the whole family down to watch.
See the Light Show and Go Ice Skating in Baytowne Wharf
Everyone loves a light show and when you throw in some ice skating, you have a real Christmas extravaganza. Baytowne Wharf glows with dazzling displays, synchronized light shows, and a skating rink that invites you to lace up your skates and hit the ice. There’s also food, drinks and fun. Glide across the ice and admire the lights at Baytowne Wharf this Christmas.
Go to the Rosemary Beach Holiday Farmers Market
Get some local holiday treats at the Rosemary Beach Holiday Farmers Market. Here you’ll find fresh produce, baked goods, gifts and treats to share with loved ones (or save for yourself) this holiday season. As you stroll the market together as a family, you can’t help but smile as you slow down and enjoy the moment together. Pick up fresh and local ingredients to add to your holiday menu and just enjoy the merriment of the moment.
Celebrate the Holidays in a Dune Vacation Rentals Home
After spending the day visiting the top Christmas activities and attractions on 30A, you’ll appreciate coming home to a luxury vacation rental from Dune Vacation Rentals. These homes are designed to help you incorporate your own Christmas traditions in a space that feels like home! There’s plenty of room for extended families or groups of friends to stay under one roof thanks to large interiors and multiple bedrooms.
Prepare your holiday feast or bake cookies for Santa with the kids in a spacious kitchen that has all the utensils, appliances, and counterspace you need. Keep the traditional dishes going as you prepare them with friends and family by your side. When it’s time to dine on your holiday feast, head to your spacious dinner table where everyone can have a seat, share a meal and enjoy the moment.
With so much busyness happening during the holidays, it’s good to treat yourself during your stay to a relaxing soak in the hot tub, or swim in the private pool. This is still a vacation after all, make sure you enjoy it! Have a holiday photo shoot, seaside picnic, or midday tanning session down by the beach since many Dune Vacation Rentals offer direct beach access.
Set up your own mini tree in your rental, decorate, have game nights, and just bask in the quality time together during the holidays. Just be sure to pack out whatever you’ve brought in so that the Christmas rental can be ready for future guests.
