Best Annual Christmas Events In Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet

Christmas is a popular time to schedule a vacation. This means there is typically something festive happening all the time. This is true for the Myrtle Beach and Murrells Inlet areas. You can take advantage of the festive events and settings when you book directly with Inlet Sports Lodge. We are a fantastic venue for celebrating the Christmas season, and it gets even better when you attend one of these extraordinary annual Christmas events in the Myrtle Beach and Murrells Inlet area.

Winter Wonderland At The Beach

Head down to the beach in Myrtle Beach until Jan 1 to see an amazing winter wonderland. If you want to see the beach light up, try to arrive between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. to see the Christmas lights brighten the sandy shores. A winter festival kicks off early in December, and what follows is a series of other celebrations, such as Light Up the Night Bike Ride, Twinkling Two-Miler Run, and more.

Ripley’s Festival of Trees

Here is another exhibit that lights up Myrtle Beach. The Ripley’s Festival of Trees celebrates the United States and its territories with 55 magnificent trees decked with area-appropriate decor. For instance, the South Carolina tree is more than 18 feet tall and adorned with seashells, magnolias, golf balls, and more.

The Wonderland of Lights

The Murrells Inlet MarshWalk is already a standout attraction, but it stands out during Christmas. The Wonderland of Lights lights up the MarshWalk with bright lights and a 20-foot-tall Christmas tree. From 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. every night through December, thousands of lights bring warmth and cheer to an already bustling entertainment district in Murrells Inlet.
