Regent Santa Monica Beach

Celebrate the start of the festive season at Regent Santa Monica Beach with an enchanting evening by the sea. Gather with family, friends and neighbors as our spectacular 45-foot Christmas tree comes to life, illuminating the resort and marking the beginning of the holidays in Santa Monica.
The evening unfolds with festive surprises for every generation. Little ones can meet Santa and encounter whimsical holiday characters, elves and toy soldiers, while families enjoy festive photo moments, live musical performances and the Regent Rockets. Sip seasonal drinks, savor holiday bites and treats, and get a head start on holiday shopping at our Seaside Boutique. As the sun sets over the Pacific, gather for the evening’s most magical moment, the countdown to the lighting of our 45-foot tree.
In the spirit of the season, a special give-back component will support our local community and bring an added sense of meaning to the celebration. Open to all, the evening invites guests and neighbors alike to come together, create new traditions and make lasting holiday memories by the sea at Regent Santa Monica Beach.
