Letting go of holiday stress is easy to do when you decide to plan a last-minute La Quinta Christmas vacation instead. This year, give yourself the gift of leaving cold and snow behind and swapping it all out for fun in the sun instead. La Quinta is a great place to spend time with family and friends during the holidays when you want to relax, explore the great outdoors, and make the most of festive shopping, dining, and event-hopping as well!
Plan on a Sunny Holiday Getaway
The beauty of booking a last-minute vacation to La Quinta is that you’ll never have to worry about fitting your parka, scarves, and gloves into your suitcase. That’s because here, daily highs in December have a wonderful way of lingering in the 70s. Travelers will also be delighted to find that blue and sunny skies define the holiday season. The vibe across La Quinta this time of year remains decidedly laid-back, giving holiday travelers a reason to relax, unwind, and relish their last-minute vacation at their own preferred pace.
Head Out and Explore More
Waking up each day of your last-minute Christmas vacation to La Quinta with views of the Santa Rosa Mountains outside your window is often enough to inspire you to head out and explore more! This time of year, hiking is a great activity to add to your itinerary that doesn’t require planning extensively in advance of your arrival in town.
When you’re looking to include breathtaking views into your hike, we would recommend making time to experience the Bear Creek Canyon Trail for yourself. Of course, you can’t go wrong with time on the Cove to Lake Trail while you’re here either.
All that mild weather on your side in La Quinta around Christmas time sets you up perfectly for a day on a local golf course, too. Some of the most iconic golf courses like SilverRock Resort and PGA West are extra alluring, whether you’re new to golf or it’s an activity you add to your to-do list, no matter where you travel.
Treat Yourself to Flavorful Holiday Moments
La Quinta is certainly a popular vacation destination among travelers from near and far this time of year. With an influx of visitors over the holidays, many top-rated restaurants in town known for serving up holiday specials require guests to make a reservation well in advance. That said, you’ll still enjoy plenty of opportunities to build flavor into your fantastic last-minute holiday stay.
Places like Morgan’s in the Desert typically have a menu on hand over the holidays that showcases the chef’s Christmas specials that can be enjoyed without needing a reservation. Destinations like Adobe Grill are where you want to be when you find yourself longing for tasty Mexican cuisine at Christmas, while the team over at TWENTY6 invites visitors to settle into a beautiful American bistro and enjoy handcrafted cocktails this holiday season.
Holiday-Themed Activities to Experience with the Entire Family
A last-minute Christmas vacation to La Quinta is an experience with something for everyone in the family to love. When you’re traveling this way impromptu with guests of all ages, you’ll want to be sure to scroll the event calendar at La Quinta Resort as soon as you arrive. This time of year, they typically host everything from meet and greets with Santa to holiday breakfast buffets and craft workshops as well.
Over at the McCallum Theatre in nearby Palm Desert, you might be lucky enough to grab some last-minute tickets to the holiday performances they welcome to the stage at this time of year, too. When it’s time to get some Christmas shopping checked off the list during your stay, Old Town La Quinta is packed with charming stores to explore. This area of town will also be decked out in its holiday best, so be sure to have your camera ready to capture those exciting holiday moments.
