Get Ready for Some Holiday Chill
JOIN US AS WE CELEBRATE THE SEASON AT MISSION PACIFIC RESORT
While others head to snow-covered mountains for the holidays, we prefer a more local, laid-back vibe here in Oceanside. Say goodbye to the holiday hustle and kick back in true SoCal style with Holiday Chill, our seasonal program of relaxing holiday activities, sophisticated culinary experiences, and stress-free celebrations.
Reservations are strongly recommended for all holiday events. See what’s happening at our sister resort, The Seabird, here.
HERE’S WHAT WE’VE GOT PLANNED
HOLIDAY DINING WITH A BAJA TWIST
We’re spicing up the season’s special meals. At Valle, Mission Pacific’s celebrated fine dining restaurant, Chef Roberto Alcocer will present a four-course prix fixe menu with optional wine pairings on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. With the chef’s emphasis on innovative Baja California flavors and exceptional, locally sourced ingredients, it promises to be a singular dining experience. Thanksgiving, $95 per person; Christmas Eve, $150 per person; New Year’s Eve, $150 per person, including champagne toast.
ROOFTOP REVELRY
Six floors up, Mission Pacific’s ever-popular Rooftop Bar will be one of Oceanside’s essential hotspots throughout the holiday months. New Year’s Eve will see the picturesque roof transformed for a one-of-a-kind fiesta offering the perfect Baja/SoCal mix. Your ticket includes a welcome signature craft cocktail, bar bites, and a midnight champagne toast. Of course, live music and our share-worthy Pacific Ocean views seal the deal. New Year’s Eve, $150 per person.
