Antrim Holiday Cooks Tour Tickets Go On Sale In Point Pleasant Beach

POINT PLEASANT BEACH, NJ — It may be pumpkin spice season, but in Point Pleasant Beach it's time to start thinking about the holidays and one of the most popular events in the borough: the Antrim PTO Holiday Cooks Tour.

The tickets for the 2026 tour, set for Dec. 5, go on sale Saturday at the 48th annual Festival of the Sea celebration downtown. They are $65 per person, and also will be available online at the Antrim Cooks Tour website.

The tour, organized by the G. Harold Antrim Elementary School Parent-Teacher Organization, has been held annually for more than 20 years, visiting the homes of Point Pleasant Beach residents who volunteer to show off their holiday style.

The homeowners who participate in the tour allow PTO volunteers to come in and help decorate the homes, bring in catering from the participating restaurants and allow hundreds of people through their doors on the night of the tour.

The Holiday Cooks Tour is one of the largest fundraisers the PTO does each year.

Funds raised from the tour have allowed the PTO to fund playground enhancements, auditorium improvements, put free books in the hands of students throughout the school, provide immersive educational experiences for the students, funded assemblies, fulfilled teacher wishlists, and so much more, the PTO has said.

The theme of the 2026 tour is "’Tis the Season For..." all your favorite parts of Christmas, including festive homes, delicious food, family traditions, and holiday cheer.

"We are thrilled to carry on this amazing tradition and celebrate another joyous holiday season, all while helping the students and teachers at G. Harold Antrim Elementary in Point Pleasant Beach," the tour website said.

The featured restaurants will be added on the website and on the Instagram and Facebook accounts.
