Christmas Lights Dinner Tour

San Diego Holiday Lights Tour

Come along on this unforgettable holiday adventure as we journey through San Diego County in search of the most dazzling displays of festive cheer! From sparkling neighborhoods to stunning public installations, you’ll be surrounded by millions of twinkling lights, cheerful nativity scenes, and heartwarming holiday celebrations that truly capture the magic of the season.

Our first stop takes us to the iconic Hotel del Coronado, a timeless landmark that transforms into a winter wonderland each December. Marvel at the towering Christmas tree in the grand lobby, and take in the breathtaking sight of thousands of white lights tracing every line and curve of this magnificent Victorian masterpiece — a true postcard moment on the California coast.

Then, it’s time for some extra holiday fun! Slip on your complimentary pair of “magic glasses”, a delightful keepsake that transforms every light into a kaleidoscope of color. As we make our way through some of San Diego’s most notable and spirited residential neighborhoods, you’ll be amazed by entire communities that have joined forces to create blocks upon blocks of brilliant displays, animated figures, and enchanting themes that will leave you wide-eyed with wonder.

Midway through the evening, we’ll stop to enjoy a festive dinner at Applebee’s, where you can relax, warm up, and share your favorite sights with fellow travelers.

This beloved annual tradition is a highlight of the season—a joyful celebration of light, community, and holiday spirit. Don’t miss your chance to experience the magic of Christmas in America’s Finest City with friends, family, and DayTripper Tours!
