Discover Christmas Magic at Sea Island

When Christmas comes to Georgia, many think of traveling to our northern regions, where you are more likely to see snow. But sipping hot chocolate by the beach and listening to the waves roll in is a pretty spectacular experience and one of the best parts about enjoying the holidays at the Sea Island Resort.

While you're not going to see snow and pine trees outside here, there's plenty of sand and palm trees laden with lights. Sea Island is one of the top-rated hotels in Georgia, and the entire hotel property gets decked out for Christmas. To start, the outside of the property boasts no fewer than 100,000 dazzling lights. As you walk inside the hotel, you'll notice nearly 3,000 feet of Christmas garland combined with 95 decorated Christmas trees. It would be nearly impossible not to fall into the holiday spirit here!

There are all kinds of events going on during the holidays, too. You'll find carolers, kids' activities, a family fun run, and so much more. There's even an adorable reindog parade with dogs in their holiday best!

The little ones will love visits with Santa and fun events like the Children’s Christmas Party. Looking for something a little more low-key? You and your crew will love the chance to decorate gingerbread houses or attend cooking demonstrations. The family-friendly festivities have something for everyone to enjoy. Other standout celebrations include:  

• Christmas Eve Yule Log Ceremony: a wonderful ceremony with Christmas musical selections concluding with a spectacular burning of the yule log in The Cloister Colonial Lounge fireplace.
• Polar Express Extravaganza: a fun celebration for the little ones (ages 5 to 14) aboard the Polar Express to see all the dazzling lights. Festivities with Santa’s Helpers will include reading The Polar Express, arts and crafts, hot cocoa, a holiday movie, and more.
• Life-Size Gingerbread Creation: Unveiling the day after Thanksgiving, the themed gingerbread house will bring lots of joy for the little girls and boys, and adults, too!

Mark your calendars for December 20 to December 26. The dates for each event will vary, so you'll want to keep the Christmas at Sea Island holiday schedule handy.
