Myrtle Beach's White Sand Christmas: Top Holiday Events and Festive Fun

Myrtle Beach s White Sand Christmas: Top Holiday Events and Festive Fun

One of the best perks of South Carolina's coastal living is our mild year-round temperatures, making the holiday season perfect for enjoying festive events both outdoors and indoors—no heavy coats required.

If you're dreaming of a white sand Christmas instead of snow, Myrtle Beach offers unforgettable ways to embrace the holiday spirit.

It's the Happiest Season of All

Myrtle Beach buzzes with family events, unique experiences, and dazzling lights from early November through early January. Budget-friendly accommodations offer up to 40% off, ensuring everyone can join the celebration.

There'll Be Parties for Hosting

The highlight for locals and visitors is the Night of a Thousand Candles at Brookgreen Gardens. These exquisite gardens and sculptures glow with 5,500 hand-lit candles and thousands of twinkling lights over three December weekends. Savor carolers, live music, hot cider, food, and beverages in this top-tier light display.

Marshmallows for Toasting

Myrtle Beach State Park's annual Christmas event delights with marshmallow toasting, park-themed story times, reindeer relay races, ocean-inspired carnival games, and a Santa sea star scavenger hunt. Santa himself arrives on the beach for photos—bring your camera for family (and pet!) memories.

And Caroling Out in the Snow

Starting November 2, The Carolina Opry and Alabama Theatre become holiday wonderlands with stunning decorations and lights. Enjoy shows packed with Christmas songs, entertainment, comedy, and dancing—a cherished tradition for repeat visitors.
