The holidays are officially here, which means it’s time to start planning as many holiday activities as we can possibly squeeze in between now and the end of the year. One of the most festive ways to get into the spirit of this magical time of year is to head out to an ice skating rink where the magic of the season abounds.

Take a look at one of our favorite spots to skate on the ice while also taking in a magnificent ocean view. After experiencing this kind of ice skating, it’s quite possible you may never want to ice skate anywhere else.

The Hotel Del is one of the most iconic hotels in all of Southern California and perhaps even the entire country. Although you may already be aware of this SoCal treasure, one thing you may not know is that this hotel is one of the most magical destinations to experience the holidays.
