Returning for its second year, Westfield UTC’s Peppermint Beach Club arrives at San Diego’s premier outdoor lifestyle destination on Friday, November 15. Following a year of toy and gift creation, Santa, Mrs. Claus, and their team of elves are in need of rest and relaxation before the big Christmas Eve drop and there’s no better place for a little R&R than sunny San Diego!
The Peppermint Beach Club at Westfield UTC offers families, friends, visitors, and locals a perfect place to celebrate the holidays and relish in the magic of the North Pole, San Diego style. This exciting & festive attraction will dazzle and delight with an array of activities including snowfall, photos with Santa in his new bungalow, playful visits with Mrs. Claus and the elves, a DJ, ways to save with early holiday shopping, special offers & giveaways, and plenty of live entertainment all season long to help spread holiday cheer:
