With more sun-filled days than any other time of year, December is a perfect time to celebrate San Diego style. This year, December Nights returns to Balboa Park with a two-day festival featuring sparkling lights, theatre, food and music. San Diego Bay's Parade of Lights features hundreds of boats sailing from Shelter Island to Coronado dressed in their holiday best. Climb aboard the Maritime Museum's Star of India for a close-up view of the fireworks extravaganza that kicks off this awesome migration. The Hotel del Coronado invites you to pamper yourself at their spa or skip on over to Windsor Lawn that's been transformed into a seaside ice rink. The Britt Scripps Inn puts on an exhibit in true Victorian opulence with 137,000 miniature Italian white lights and a 12-foot pine decorated by the area's top designers. At San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park you can play in the snow, make crafts and visit Santa's safari friends. Holiday of Lights at the Del Mar Fairgrounds is a drive through wonderland with more than 400 light displays. Horton Plaza offers abundant shops plus San Diego's favorite Fantasy on Ice, tree lighting ceremony and performers galore.
