Winter Comes to the OC Dec 18th - Jan 3rd

Living in SoCal does not mean that winter does not have snow, reindeer and winter activities. More and more places keeping bringing us snow fun. I am so happy about the Winter Fest coming to OC starting December 18th. It sounds like lots of fun. I cannot wait to visit with the family.

Cool things happening at the Winter Fest

• Ice Skating - with a Theater Sized Screen Playing Holiday Films 
  
• Ice Tubing - down a 130 foot, 6 lane ice slide

The Winter Fest entertainment begins each morning with a snow-capped opening moment led by resident master magician, Jimmy H.  The wildly entertaining Chainsaw Chicks will also be on hand at Winter Fest, carving out fantastic ice sculptures while engaging the crowd with their unbridled charm. More live entertainment comes courtesy of local bands, strolling carolers, and performances by community organizations from around Orange County.
 
The Winter Fest Promenade will bustle with the sights and sounds of winter, offering a variety of food and beverage options in a holiday atmosphere. At the end of the Winter Fest Promenade stands a 30-foot Christmas tree, where guests will gather nightly at 5:30 p.m. for a heartwarming tree lighting ceremony with snowfall. Near the Christmas tree are two of Santa’s reindeer, available for viewing and feeding.
 
The Mistletoe Lounge is a hot spot at Winter Fest, offering holiday-themed cocktails, international craft beers, and comfortable seating amid the holiday décor and entertainment of the Winter Fest Promenade. The Slippery Slope Ski Lodge (known as Baja Blues Restaurant during the OC Fair) is another exciting Winter Fest destination. The family-friendly eatery will capture a ski-lodge vibe with holiday-themed cuisine and drinks, mountain décor, nightly live entertainment, and staff decked out in ski gear.
