The Great Christmas Light Show
Kick off your holiday adventures with The Great Christmas Light Show in North Myrtle Beach. This annual event is an absolute must-see and will quickly become a tradition for you. See as the North Myrtle Beach Park and Sports Complex lights up with over 2 million lights spread across a 1.5-mile drive-through experience. You’ll pass by over 500 light displays, some as high as 55 feet tall! The best part is that they’re all synchronized to your favorite Christmas jams that play in your car.
But the magic doesn’t stop at the drive-through! Once you’re done, park the car and head over to Santa’s Village. You’ll find everything from a petting zoo and Santa’s workshop to a Christmas train ride. Don’t miss out on the hot chocolate or roasted marshmallows. Book a vacation rental nearby the Great Christmas Light Show and you’ll be just a short drive away from the holiday magic.
Ripley’s Festival of Trees
At the Ripley’s Aquarium Festival of Trees, the aquarium decks its halls with over 100 Christmas trees, with each representing a different state. Each tree is uniquely decorated to capture the spirit and history of its respective state. For example, expect to see Kentucky’s tree adorned with horses and jockeys, while South Carolina’s tree will likely be topped with palm trees and seashells!
Stroll through the aquarium to see the marine animals which add a little twist to your usual holiday experience. It’s a great way to combine holiday festivities with a bit of fishy fun and education! Avoid a long commute by staying at an oceanfront vacation rental which keeps you near to Ripley’s.
Winter Wonderland at the Beach
For a quintessential Myrtle Beach holiday experience, don’t miss out on Winter Wonderland at the Beach. Head to the boardwalk near downtown, to see the area transform with thousands of twinkling lights, holiday displays, and ice skating under the stars. Yes, you read that right—you can ice skate right by the beach!
The Boardwalk Light Show is another highlight, with Christmas lights and music synchronized to create an unforgettable experience. Winter Wonderland features a dazzling array of light displays that reflect the holiday spirit with a coastal twist. Palm trees get wrapped in lights and other nautical-themed displays will take your breath away. Winter Wonderland at the Beach is a truly unique holiday event that can only be experienced in Myrtle Beach!
You’ll be in the holiday spirit in no time as you stroll along the boardwalk and enjoy treats from local vendors. Choosing a vacation rental near downtown Myrtle Beach means you can walk to the event or hop in the car for a quick drive.
MarshWalk Wonderland of Lights
For more coastal themed Christmas lights, check out the MarshWalk Wonderland of Lights in Murrells Inlet. The MarshWalk, known for its boardwalk lined with restaurants and views of the Inlet, becomes a magical display of lights during the holiday season. Enjoy the wonderland of lights along the boardwalk and throughout the marsh. Wander along the water’s edge while you eyes glow with glittering light displays. Pop into one of the restaurants for a fresh seafood dinner with holiday flair.
The MarshWalk Wonderland of Lights is a bit more laid-back compared to some of the larger light displays in Myrtle Beach, but that’s honestly what makes it so charming. It’s the perfect option for a romantic holiday evening or a family-friendly night out. You’ll love being close to the beach, holiday lights, and all the great restaurants and shops in the area.
