ExperienceHoliday Dining

Celebrate this holiday season at the legendary Hotel del Coronado. From Thanksgiving Dinner to Christmas Day, our award-winning culinary team will craft an epicurean adventure for your family and friends.

This year's holiday season will be A Twenties Holiday Affair as we take a look back 100 years to the glittering art-deco extravagance of the 1920s. The Del will razzle-dazzle with breathtaking lights and festive décor in emerald green, shimmering silver and gold, delicate pearls, and velvet.​ We'll also herald the return of holiday favorites including Skating by the Sea® and Frostbite Lounge, "All That Jazz" Dynamic Light Show with a new lounge, Beachside Igloos, and more.
