The Ideal Family Christmas Gift: Plan a Surprise Vacation

There’s nothing quite like a surprise vacation with the kids, especially when it’s wrapped with a tidy bow under the Christmas tree. Santa Claus knows how much your family deserves an extended break from the city en route to the Pocono Mountains. It’s hard to imagine a Christmas-themed wonderland that’s more jolly and festive than Woodloch, the top-ranked family resort in the U.S. Saint Nick himself and his faithful reindeer are scheduled to visit Woodloch this December, just in time for your well-deserved surprise vacation.

All-Inclusive Christmas Packages

The “Ultimate Christmas Break” is tailor-made for a surprise vacation with the kiddos, as it runs from December 26–29. What’s better than a holly jolly Christmas at home, surrounded by loved ones and a mountain of presents? A four-day post-Christmas extravaganza at Woodloch! OK, so here’s how it works: Mom or Dad book the “ultimate holiday gathering” online, place the gift under the tree (From: Santa Claus, To: Fam), and save it for last. Just make sure there aren’t full glasses of eggnog around, because the whole gang is bound to leap, shriek, and high-five in a fit of joy. If you prefer to speak with a friendly reservationist, simply dial 800-966-3562.

Surprise Vacation = Unending Christmas Cheer

Woodloch’s village of employees takes Christmas to…ANOTHER LEVEL. Not only do we have Santa Claus on speed dial, but our annual Festival of Lights remains one of the most dazzling spectacles in the Pocono Mountains around the holidays. Meanwhile, the stimulating yule log hunt will keep the kids (and adults) guessing for hours until, of course, it’s time for some eggnog, sugar cookies, and perhaps a visit from the North Pole’s fearless leader! Other smile-inducing activities include the gingerbread wars, Christmas caroling, reindeer races, and hot cocoa around a crackling bonfire.

Snow-Packed Fun under the Sun

If you’re a good girl or boy this autumn, maybe Santa Claus will talk Jack Frost into providing some sunshine and moderate temperatures? Regardless, the family will be able to partake in dozens of homegrown activities throughout your stay, including snow tubing, ice skating, and, of course, the Winter Olympics, a hair-raising family-based competition for the ages! When you need to warm up, feel free to swish inside for a swim, a splash, and a crash.

It’s never too early to start thinking about the holidays. To learn more about a potential surprise vacation to Woodloch, please visit our packages page.
