Feliz Navidad! A Poconos Christmas Vacation for the Ages
With autumn officially in the rearview mirror, it’s time to turn our attention to the most popular holiday in North America: Christmas. As we near 2020, more and more families are choosing to spend the holiday season away from home. And the best Christmas gift, after all, is a family vacation to a dazzling winter wonderland! Every winter, Woodloch Resort’s employees and guests are filled with the holiday spirit thanks to the countless Christmas-themed activities, the Festival of Lights, and, of course, the arrival of ole Kris Kringle himself. Don’t forget that our all-inclusive, Poconos Christmas vacation packages include family-style dining, modern accommodations, nightly entertainment, and over 30 daily on-site activities and amenities.

A Christmas to Remember in Hawley, PA
No Poconos Christmas vacation is complete without a visit from Santa Claus, caroling under falling snow, and a traditional yule log hunt. But there are literally dozens of homegrown, holiday-themed activities ongoing on our sprawling, 135-acre campus. To ensure that your late December escape to Woodloch Resort is nothing short of flawless, we’ve compiled ten of our favorite Christmastime traditions. Many of these activities occur in the outdoors, which is often glossy and white thanks to our good friend, Old Man Winter. Guests can look forward to:
- A visit from Santa Claus
- Traditional yule log hunt
- Reindeer races
- Gingerbread wars
- Holiday scavenger hunt
- December 8th Holiday Craft Show
- Christmas caroling
- A peppermint mocha at Gigi’s Coffee House
- Warm-up inside the indoor pool area
- Snow tubing, ice skating, and Winter Olympics
- The Festival of Lights
The Festival of Lights
Besides a visit from Santa Claus and his faithful reindeer, the on-site attraction that most guests look forward to is our annual Festival of Lights. This dazzling display of light, sound, and pyrotechnics is a visual treat for elves of all ages. For a peek at last year’s grand finale, please visit our website. All guests have the exclusive privilege to hop aboard a wagon ride through our wilderness trail where a lengthy, colorful display ensues. We’re continuously upping the ante and adding new state-of-the-art lighting and decor. After the wagon ride, retreat indoors to meet Santa Claus, sip on eggnog, and devour a plate of Christmas cookies. This short video gives you a glimpse of what to expect this December during the Festival of Lights.
