You don’t have to visit us on December 25th to enjoy Christmas in the Poconos! December is the perfect time to take advantage of our cheap weekend getaways at one of the best kid-friendly resorts in North America. Your family will enjoy the famous Festival of Lights, caroling, holiday scavenger hunts, gingerbread wars, a special visit from the real Santa Claus, and so much more!

Festival of Lights

The annual Festival of Lights wagon ride weaves along our private hiking path into the dark surrounding forest. But don’t fret because this magical forest is beautifully illuminated by every color of the rainbow. Each holiday season brings a brand new display, including angels, cute critters, wise men, reindeer, snowmen, and Santa’s helpers. The grand finale resembles an Independence Day fireworks showcase, except we use cleverly-synchronized Christmas lights in a brilliant display of luster, color, and holiday music.

Yule Log Hunt

Somewhere hidden throughout Woodloch Resort’s beautiful, snowy 135 acres lies a lucky yule log. The person who finds this precious birch log will earn good luck for an entire year! Needless to say, every man, woman, and child takes this amusing event very seriously. Children almost always find the yule log because their determination has no bounds. This annual tradition brings smiles to every visitor’s face, even in defeat. Christmas caroling, homemade cookies, and our famous eggnog follow the hunt. Rumor has it that Santa Claus is planning a special visit after eggnog this year.

Santa Claus and His Faithful Reindeer

As if holiday light shows, eggnog, and scavenger hunts aren’t enough to persuade you and your family, Santa Claus and his faithful ageless reindeer will be making a much-anticipated pre-Christmas appearance here in Pennsylvania! Your children will have one last chance to whisper their holiday wishlist into Santa’s ear and prove they’ve been very nice this year.
