Nothing lights up the imagination quite like the sparkling holiday lights that dance in patterns on the reflected waters of the Pacific Ocean at Huntington City Beach.  Downtown Huntington Beach and the Huntington Beach (California) Pier are absolutely beautiful with the holiday lights that come to life as the sun goes down over the Pacific Ocean. Holidays in Huntington Beach are very special. There are lots of activities and things to do such as visit Santa, shop, watch a movie, take the Polar Plunge on January 1 and just soak up beautiful Southern California rays of sun.

Daily through first week in Januar: Snowflakes light up the Huntington Beach Pier and Main Street through New Year's Day. Approximately 84 artificial snowflakes strewn with twinkling lights adorn downtown Huntington Beach. They are a delight to see. There are 48 on the pier and 36 stretching along Main Street from Pacific Coast Highway to Orange Avenue. See events calendar
