Holidays by the Bay at Hilton San Diego Bayfront

Celebrate the season by the water as Hilton San Diego Bayfront transforms into a coastal winter escape filled with sparkling lights, waterfront cheer, and festive moments for all ages. From November 14 through December 8, Father Joe’s Villages hosts its 2nd Annual Holiday Villages at the Bayfront: A Cause to Celebrate, showcasing beautifully decorated Christmas trees and sharing the organization’s impact across San Diego.

Throughout December, guests and locals can enjoy a lineup of signature holiday happenings, including pictures with Santa (Saturday, December 6, 4-7 p.m.) and storytime with Mrs. Claus (Saturday, December 6, 6-7 p.m.), live carolers fill the air with classic holiday tunes from 4-6 p.m. Guests can also enjoy breakfast with Santa (Sunday, December 7, 9-11 a.m.) at Hudson & Nash, where families can share a meal (and a wish) with Santa himself. On display daily, a life-sized gingerbread house will be decked out in a San Diego-style theme. During the visit, children can craft a letter to Santa from November 29 to December 25 and leave it in the magic mailbox, which delivers it directly to the North Pole.
