Rosewood Miramar Beach is celebrating the festive season by transforming into a winter wonderland for its guests and the community. The property has announced its full line-up of holiday programming, including decorations, special events, and an array of specialty food and beverage offerings in celebration of the holidays.

This year the celebration marks the return of holiday traditions, and reunions with family and friends after much time spent apart. Throughout December, and featuring everything from a five-course Christmas menu to seasonal spa treatments, the resort’s curated programming offers opportunities to gather over food, drink and fun.

“This year, even more than ever before, we are so excited to welcome guests and locals to celebrate togetherness, gratitude and the true spirit of the season,” said Rick Fidel, managing director of Rosewood Miramar Beach. “We are thrilled to share in this joyful time of year together, and to help our guests create new traditions and soak up the magic of Miramar.”

Santa Claus will do a special Santa Drive-By around the Montecito community on Dec. 19, making stops at Coast Village Road, 11 a.m.; Montecito Country Mart, 11:30 a.m.; Butterfly Beach, noon; and the Rosewood’s Miramar Beach Bar, 1:30-3 p.m.).

Other holiday enhancements on offer by Rosewood Miramar Beach to its customers include a Christmas Eve Turn Down amenity of milk and cookies for Santa — and carrots for his reindeer — all delivered to room doors. The property also offers both personal menorahs, and options for monogrammed stockings and personal Christmas trees for those looking to celebrate in their rooms. 

Christmas Eve dining options include a nod to Italian-American culture with a Feast of the Seven Fishes prix-fixe dinner menu at Caruso’s, served family-style and featuring locally and sustainability caught seafood. Other food and beverage outposts at the hotel will operate under normal hours, with some festive touches such as holiday cocktails at The Manor Bar and Miramar Beach Bar.
