Holiday Events
In addition to fun holiday shows, the Myrtle Beach area also hosts holiday events each year. One of the most popular holiday events is the Dickens Christmas Show and Festival. This annual event will take you back in time to a Victorian Holiday Marketplace featuring tons of vendors, music, and more. This multi-day event is a must for families visiting during the holidays.
Weather
Sure, Myrtle Beach may get snow once in a blue moon, but you’ll never find yourself snowed-in for the holidays here. Escape from the intensely cold climates of other parts of the country, and make your way to Myrtle Beach to celebrate the holidays in a warm and cozy atmosphere. Most of the time, you may even find yourself wearing a t-shirt outside on Thanksgiving Day! The average temperature in Myrtle Beach for the month of November is 69º, perfect for outdoor activities such as walking on the beach! The weather only drops down to an average of 60º, which is still warm enough to enjoy the outdoors here along the Grand Strand.
