By

The Myrtle Beach Christmas shows and lighting displays on deck this holiday season are among the best productions you’ll find anywhere. Those who know what Myrtle Beach is like during the holidays can attest that this city does a lot to celebrate Christmas, from the annual Dickens Christmas Show Market to countless tree-lighting ceremonies, and meet-and-greets with Santa. And  the award-winning Christmas shows in Myrtle Beach are one of a kind. Come yuletide, the Broadway-style theaters in Myrtle Beach pull out all the stops. The performances feature Christmas carols, seasonal pop hits, and spirited sing-alongs to kick anyone’s holiday spirit into overdrive. Most consider The Carolina Opry’s holiday special to be the best Christmas show in Myrtle Beach, because the extravagant seasonal productions the Grand Strand is known for originated there, and the Opry is still sensational after 37 years.

The Grand Strand looks like a winter wonderland, too. The larger-than-life decorations are all a part of how this city ushers in the holidays. From twinkling trees at your oceanfront Myrtle Beach hotel, to red and green storefronts, and extravagant lighting ceremonies, there’s no shortage of Christmas light shows in Myrtle Beach.
