Here Are Our Top Picks For The Holidays In Orange County

There are all sorts of holiday-related events happening all over Orange County this December. Don’t miss out, and be sure to bring all of the kids and everyone in your family who is young at heart. Let’s start with a favorite event for everybody: gingerbread house decorating.

Children’s Gingerbread House Decorating

The smell and taste of gingerbread is part of what holiday memories are made of, and on the 8th and the 16th of December, your kids can help to decorate gingerbread houses at the Pelican Hill Resort. Starting at 10 am, the pastry chef will be on hand to give the youngsters tips as they take a culinary class intended for those five years and up. They’ll be able to enjoy lunch, and they’ll make a masterpiece they can take home with them. Will it last till Christmas, or will they dismantle it for a snack before then?

Christmas with the Critters

There’s nothing to say that our animal friends can’t take part in the holiday festivities too. At Rancho Las Lomas on December 9th from 11 am to 3 pm, it’s going to be Christmas with the Critters, where children can enjoy holiday music, crafts, and a bounce house. Santa will be there to watch over the animals as they open their Christmas presents. As for the parents, they can take part in the silent auction, do some holiday shopping, and there will be food and beverage options as well.

33rd Annual Candlelight Walk

There’s something romantic about taking a stroll by candlelight. Even if you don’t have a significant other, though, you’ll enjoy this chance to reconnect with your family and express to them how grateful you are that they’re with you for the holidays. Both kids and adults can wander through Heritage Hill Historic Park on the 7th, 8th, and 9th of this month. Hundreds of candles will light the way, and the air will be filled with music from dozens of carolers and musicians. This will be a time for reflection on what the year has brought, and what the new one is likely to bring.

We hope that you enjoy these holiday events with your family, and we’ll be back with more OC events next time.
