:It’s timeeee! The Bay Area is always filled with Christmas spirit, and there’s so much to do no matter where you live in the Bay. Check my 25 days of Christmas series-2024 for all the latest Christmas recs. Here are my top 10 recs: 1. Christmas shopping and decor at Santana Row in San Jose – the perfect outdoor mall for all things Christmas. 2. Christmas House: You may remember this house from my Halloween reel, when it was decorated with a giant pumpkin. Now will now be fully decked out for Christmas with an elaborated ice sculpture! It’s on Waverly Street in Palo Alto (DM me for the exact address if needed). 3. Christmas Tree Lane in Palo Alto – a must-see festive street that lights up from Dec 16 to Dec 25. 📍1700-1800 Fulton Street, Palo Alto. 4. Eucalyptus Lane – the best Christmas lane I’ve ever seen! I’m excited to visit again in 2024 when it opens the last week of November. 5. Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay – they go all out with holiday decorations and have luxe prix-fixe Christmas brunches. Check their website for more details! 6. Cafe Florian at Crowne Plaza in Foster City – Unlimited Christmas buffet, seafood lovers’ paradise! Not recommended for vegans/vegetarians, though. 7. Union Square in San Francisco – the ultimate Christmas destination: ice skating, a massive tree, holiday markets, themed drinks, events, and carolers. It’s got everything! 8. Famous Christmas Houses in San Francisco – if you’ve never seen them, make sure you check them out this year. 9. Gingerbread House at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco – this massive gingerbread house is a holiday classic, and the hotel itself is beautifully decked out. It’s free to visit, even if you’re not a guest. 10. Westin in Union Square – I’m not sure if the stunning sugar castle will be on display this year since the hotel has been under renovation, but if it is, it’s a must-see! What’s your score out of 10? And what’s your favorite Christmas thing to see/do/visit where you live? Let me know!
