The Huntington Beach House has transformed into a festive winter wonderland for the season, now known as The Huntington Holiday House! Located on the sands of Huntington State Beach, this family-friendly destination offers a magical holiday beachfront experience throughout December. Visitors can enjoy enchanting photo spots, from twinkling palm trees and a snowy Christmas Forest to a heart-shaped selfie station inspired by the North Pole.
The festivities also include visits from Santa Claus, spreading Christmas cheer every Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. through Christmas. Pets are welcome too!
As temperatures cool by the beach, indulge in warm hot cocoa with handmade snowman marshmallows and freshly baked cookies, paired with comforting seasonal dishes from The Huntington Holiday House’s revamped menu. Highlights include Birria Ramen, Christmas Tamales, and Christmas Crunch French Toast. Adults can toast the holidays with specialty cocktails like Christmas Chai, Eggnog & Brandi, and Andy’s Secret Holiday Horchata from the full bar menu.
The Huntington Beach House will continue spreading holiday cheer through January 5, 2024. Visit Wednesday through Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. For more details, head to thehbhouse.com.
