December is such a magical time of the year to visit Hilton Head Island, where holiday cheer meets coastal charm. There’s no shortage of holiday cheer this year, from the dazzling light displays to the fun, festive, family-friendly events. And when you stay in one of our Luxury Hilton Head Island vacation rentals, you’re sure to elevate the season. Look below at our top three events you can’t miss this December on the island.
Harbour Town Lights
Kick off the holiday season with the family by visiting Harbour Town to see the enchanting lights. The Iconic Harbour Town Lighthouse and its surrounding area transform into a sparkling extravaganza with festive holiday decorations. Gather around the Christmas tree with the family to take a photo that you can use for those Christmas cards. While enjoying the lights and decorations, why not shop for gifts or grab a bite to eat? There are so many different things that you can do while at Harbour Town this December, but we wanted to share the lights with you.
Shelter Cove Towne Centre Christmas Celebration
Shelter Cove Towne Centre transforms into a magical winter wonderland every December. Here, you’ll be able to find stunning light displays and decorations, and there will be visits with Santa. Plus, your family can visit Santa’s workshop and purchase unique gifts from one of the local boutiques or enjoy some holiday-themed treats. And you can watch the Christmas tree lighting every night and listen to holiday music. What a fun way to spend the day and evening with the family, making new memories together.
Winter Wonderland Festival
If you’re dreaming of a winter wonderland and unsure if you can experience it at the beach, you’re as lucky as possible. Starting Friday, December 6th, at 4:00 pm, you and your family can enjoy the Winter Wonderland Festival at Shelter Cove Park. Here, you can play carnival games, ride a holiday train, craft a little, and visit Santa. Many local vendors will be there selling their wares and food trucks to grab a bite to eat. This is a fantastic way to celebrate the holidays on Hilton Head Island with the family.
