Big Bear is known for being one of the most magical places in Southern California and Christmas is no exception. Christmas/New Years Winter Holiday in Big Bear may even feel more magical here during the holiday season as the towering pine trees and the mountainsides become covered in blankets of white. There aren’t many places here in Southern California where you can experience a white Christmas this holiday season but luckily Big Bear is one of them. Imagine waking up on Christmas morning in your cabin tucked away beneath the trees, as fresh snow falls outside your window and the fireplace crackles. There’s nothing quite like it! Apart from the enchanting scenery, Big Bear also has some great activities that you and your family can enjoy during the Christmas season! Below we have put together some options to give you an idea of how great Christmas will be here in Big Bear.
Come visit Santa in his North Pole Cabin where the fire is always warm and the memories last a lifetime! The Jolly One enjoys visits from all good girls and boys in his cozy cabin. See Santa while he works and prepares for the Big Night(Christmas Eve)! Enjoy a distanced chat with the Jolly One and see the inside of where all the magic begins. Check out Santa’s mail box to send in your list, or write a sweet thank you note for the gifts you received this past year. Just outside Santa’s front door, feel the icy North Pole and watch it glow with the power of the Northern lights. This pole marks Santa’s Village at Sky Park as part of the magical North Pole. Our small piece of this special arctic place was transported here to spread Christmas joy to all the boys and girls of Southern California year round.
What better way to welcome the new year than being surrounded by nature and all the beauty it offers? Come celebrate the arrival of 2022 with exciting activities and events here in the mountains. From new year sledding to Big Bear’s annual Torch Festival, your holiday is sure to be filled with plenty of family fun! The New Year doesn’t arrive until midnight so make sure you book your holiday cabin to retire in after the long day of festivities. Christmas/New Years Winter Holiday in Big Bear we even have pet-friendly options so you don’t have to ring in the new year without your furry friend! Below, we have compiled a few options of New Year activities for you and your family to enjoy while visiting Big Bear! Remember, Big Bear will still be covered in snow with freezing temperatures so make sure you prepare for cold outdoor activities!
