Holiday Lights, Coastal Nights, and a Festive New Year at Oceana

The holidays arrive gracefully in Santa Monica, turning the coastline into a festive retreat where ocean breezes mingle with seasonal sparkle. December at Oceana offers a peaceful, elegant escape—morning walks along Ocean Avenue, quiet beachfront moments, and evenings wrapped in warm coastal charm.

Just a short stroll from the hotel, Santa Monica shines with twinkling lights and holiday décor, inviting leisurely evenings of shopping and strolling. The Third Street Promenade and nearby boutiques glow with seasonal displays, offering an inviting mix of last-minute gifts, festive treats, and cheerful energy that feels distinctly seaside.

Holiday Cheer on the Pier adds to the celebration through December 18, filling the iconic landmark with live music, spirited performances, and classic seasonal touches. The finale brings photos with Santa, a pop-up post office for letters to the North Pole, and a charming puppet show, all set against the Pacific backdrop.

As December draws to a close, Oceana provides an effortless setting for ringing in the New Year. Celebrate with coastal elegance, glowing lights, and the promise of a fresh start by the sea.
