Who says you need snow and freezing temperatures to celebrate the holidays? Evermore Orlando Resort is putting a Florida twist on the holiday season with festive celebrations, family activities, seasonal dining, and plenty of opportunities to make magical memories! From Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day, the 1,100-acre resort is transforming into a holiday destination where winter wonderland meets fun in the sun.
Located near Walt Disney World, Evermore Orlando Resort offers a different way to celebrate the season. Instead of bundling up in winter coats, guests can enjoy holiday festivities along the eight acres of crystal-clear water at Evermore Bay. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a multigenerational gathering, or a luxurious holiday getaway, there is something for everyone!
Christmas Parties, Beach Celebrations, and Holiday Fun
Evermore has an impressive lineup of seasonal activities planned for 2026. Some of the most exciting events take place on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!
On December 24, Conrad Orlando will host Sunny’s Merry Little Christmas Party. Families can enjoy visits with Santa, themed bounce houses, cookie decorating, holiday crafts, cocoa, and cider. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas Eve with little ones!
Also on Christmas Eve, The Evermore Christmas Party will feature holiday characters, cookie decorating, snow, and other seasonal surprises. Yes, you can even experience a little snow during your Florida Christmas vacation!
On Christmas Day, families can participate in The Great Evermore Christmas Scavenger Hunt. Guests will explore the resort in search of festive surprises, with a sweet reward waiting at the end. If you’re looking for a less traditional Christmas morning activity, the resort is also hosting a Christmas Morning Bay Swim.
Another unique experience is the Evermore Bay Electric Surfboard Show. Professional electric surfers will perform high-speed demonstrations across the water on November 25-28, December 24-26, and December 31-January 1.
Other seasonal highlights include strolling Christmas carolers, a Holiday Bubble Bash at Conrad Orlando, and a Holiday Foam Party on November 28 featuring reindeer games, elf charades, and Santa Says.
Families can also enjoy fireside s’mores, holiday sing-alongs, Cocoa and Canvas painting classes, sandcastle competitions, family golf clinics, Christmas carol karaoke, and plenty of other activities throughout the season.
I especially love the idea of combining traditional Christmas activities with a day at the beach. It’s such a fun way to take advantage of Florida’s beautiful weather!
Ring in 2027 with a Glow Beach Party!
Evermore is planning a spectacular New Year’s Eve celebration, and it sounds like a fabulous way to welcome 2027!
On December 31, the resort’s Glow Beach Party will transform South Beach into a festive celebration featuring live music, hundreds of glowing lanterns, beach bites, champagne, and a midnight countdown.
Guests can also participate in the Resolution Studio on December 30. During this special experience, families can write resolutions and letters to their future selves. Evermore will store the letters and mail them back the following year. What a meaningful keepsake from a holiday vacation!
For anyone feeling particularly adventurous, the resort will host a New Year’s Polar Plunge on January 1. Of course, a polar plunge in Florida sounds a little more appealing than one up north!
Thanksgiving Traditions with a Meaningful Twist
The holiday celebrations begin in November with a special focus on bringing families and friends closer together. Evermore has partnered with Harvard-trained social scientist Kasley Killam to introduce Relational Wellness by Evermore, a new program designed to encourage meaningful connections.
Thanksgiving experiences include Connection Cocktails and Menus featuring conversation prompts, an Evermore Thanksgiving Toast focused on gratitude, and Gratitude Cards that guests can share with loved ones.
One particularly touching experience is the Lantern Ceremony, which invites guests to honor someone who has brought light into their lives. For families who enjoy a little friendly competition, Evermore will also host a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day, November 26.
These activities offer a thoughtful alternative to the usual holiday hustle and bustle. Sometimes the best memories come from simply spending quality time together!
Luxury Holiday Experiences at Conrad Orlando
For guests looking to add a little luxury to their holiday celebrations, Conrad Orlando is offering an impressive selection of seasonal experiences.
Families can personalize their stays with festive room decorations, surprise storytime visits from elves, and holiday-themed poolside cabanas. Younger guests can enjoy special activities at Conrad Kids Club, including a dreidel-making workshop.
The Watermark boutique will also offer personal shopping and gift-wrapping services, making it easier to finish those last-minute holiday purchases.
Foodies have plenty to look forward to as well! On Christmas Eve, Sophia’s Trattoria will host an Italian-American Feast of the Seven Fishes.
For New Year’s Eve, rooftop restaurant Ceiba is planning an elegant celebration featuring caviar, champagne, live entertainment, and panoramic views of fireworks across Central Florida. This experience is available to both resort guests and visitors with reservations.
If relaxation is at the top of your holiday wish list, Conrad Spa Orlando will offer seasonal aromatherapy massages featuring scents like balsam, cinnamon clove, and peppermint. Sound baths and guided poolside meditation will also be available.
Celebrate the Holidays Together at Evermore Residences
One of the things that makes Evermore Orlando Resort especially appealing for family vacations is its selection of spacious accommodations.
The Evermore Residences are ideal for extended families or groups of friends who want to celebrate together without squeezing everyone into traditional hotel rooms. Accommodations feature spacious living areas, fully equipped kitchens, and generous dining spaces. Some homes even include private heated pools and outdoor kitchens!
Families can arrange for seasonal decorations before their arrival, making their accommodations feel festive from the moment they walk through the door. Evermore also offers holiday meals prepared by its culinary team and delivered directly to the residences. Additional housekeeping and gift-wrapping services are available as well.
It’s a great option for families who want the comfort of celebrating at home without taking on all the work that comes with hosting a holiday gathering.
