The Resort at Pelican Hill  has prepared a long list of Christmas activities that lasts throughout December. From children fun to Christmas feast, from traditions to resort relaxation, The Resort at Pelican Hill has everything you want.

Personalized holiday decorations

To get in the holidays’ mood, The Resort at Pelican Hill decorates your Villa or Bungalow according to your preferences. All you have to do is select from their décor packages and you’ll find the space perfect for the celebration.

The entire resort is dressed for the season. In the Main Estate Lobby, you’ll find the traditional gingerbread display and Santa’s sleigh. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, from November 29th through December 23rd, Santa Claus himself will be joining the quests and locals for taking photos and reading stories.

Let’s call Santa!

The Resort at Pelican Hill provides a direct line with Santa Claus between December, 18th and 24th. Your kids will receive a call from Santa directly in the room. With greetings and witty words, Santa will surprise the children and create unique memories. Don’t forget to reserve the line in advance because Santa is very busy this time of the year!

And if Santa is too busy to visit, his helpers are not. You can ask them to visit you in the room and read a bedtime story to your kids. They’ll come prepared with milk and cookies and the best stories the elves can tell.   

Crafts and games at the Camp Pelican

From December 14th through December 31st, Camp Pelican organizes activities, crafts, and games for children ages 4 - 12. The children will decorate gingerbread houses, design Christmas decorations, or take part in fun games.

The holidays at The Resort at Pelican Hill are peaceful and full of light. Traditional décor and cuisine accompany the season’s events. Kids are spoiled by Santa’s visits and stories, playful elves, and fun activities. All you have to do is relax and enjoy the moment in the salty air of the ocean.

Celebrate Thanksgiving Day by the Ocean

Thanksgiving Day celebrates the Pilgrims’ first harvest in the New World in October 1621. It was proclaimed federal holiday in 1863 by Abraham Lincoln and has been celebrated ever since. This year, the fourth Thursday of November, November 28th, will find us admiring the ocean whether it’s the Atlantic Ocean at Boca Raton Resort & Club or the Pacific Ocean at the Resort at Pelican Hill.

There’re many traditions related to Thanksgiving Day. The most popular of them is the Thanksgiving dinner, a great occasion for a family reunion. To make it even more special, choose to spend this holiday near the ocean, in an idyllic décor, surrounded by your family and friends.

Old traditions in new places

Thanksgiving Day is about being grateful for everything that happens in your life. Be grateful for the good things because they make you happy and for the bad things because they make you wiser and stronger. Don’t forget to be grateful for the wonderful people you know and love and for those you meet every day.

It’s a blessing to travel, to discover new places and cultures. Celebrating Thanksgiving Day away from home is a precious experience you get to share with your loved ones. Don’t worry; wherever you go, the festive dinner will include turkey, potatoes, corn, and pumpkin pie. And the atmosphere will be completed with fireworks and music.

Thanksgiving Day in popular culture

Thanksgiving Day gathers local flavors too. Besides the traditional dinner, it’s celebrated with public events and religious services. It’s also a good occasion to get involved in charitable actions and give something back to your community. You can make donations or volunteer at a local shelter. Remember that Thanksgiving Day isn’t just about you, but also about all those who join forces for your happiness directly or indirectly.

On Thanksgiving Day you should be grateful for the splendid views over the ocean, your ability to travel, and the amazing people around you. Enjoy a unique celebration in beautiful décor and create new traditions. Most of all, celebrate with kindness and in harmony with the environment.
