For the ultimate winter wonderland for you and the kids, The JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa is working miracles to bring you holiday joy like you’ve never experienced before.
All the festivities will be open to both hotel guests and the public, transforming the resort into a Texas Hill Country winter wonderland complete with spectacular new experiences. The resort’s pavilion lawn will turn into a playground of joy covered with snow, in a white Christmas for everyone.
The new immersive holiday experiences and activities include a Snow Flow Mountain, a multi-lane tubing hill made from real snow, providing hours of alpine zooming and frozen fun for all ages.
Race down the slope with your loved ones, and then head down to the Snowball Build & Blast, an interactive snowball make and toss game where festive fun-lovers can score points which help boost the power of the snow making machine. Make more snowballs, throw more tosses, earn more points, and there will be more and more fun, and most importantly, real snow!
Of course, you have to visit Mrs Claus, who will do a heart-warming retelling of the classic “Twas the Night Before Christmas” followed by a sing-along of favourite holiday carols. Don’t leave without one of her freshly baked cookies, Santa’s favourite, with ice cold milk to share.
Next on your wishlist, stop by the Gingerbread Decorating Corner, stocked with a bounty of sweets and treats to create a delectable masterpiece to bring home. Once you’ve completed your work of art, you’ll meet JW Marriott’s very own gingerbread man, Nutmeg.
Continue your promenade to the resort’s Market Square, which will feature a Holiday Pop-Up Shop glimmering with all things merry and bright, from apparel and jewellery to festive home-decor, toys, ornaments and collectables. Your perfect destination for holiday shopping!
In another festive activity, Santa’s Secret Service enlists the help of volunteers in a Secret Santa Scavenger Hunt to decipher clues in hopes of solving the mystery and earning Santa’s Secret Service Badge.
There will also be visits from Santa’s live reindeer; horse-drawn sleigh rides around the resort property; a Polar Plunge; a hot cocoa bar; gooey s’mores with festive toppings; a station where you can write your Letters to Santa with its very own mailbox; and a personal visit with Santa along with a keepsake photo to capture the memories forever.
Complete your holiday experience with an extra touch of festive spirit in their Wonderland Suite, the perfect Christmas getaway decorated with a Christmas tree, stockings over the fireplace, garland wreaths and a record player with holiday music. Everyone will feel the spirit of the North Pole in these luxurious, cosy suites.
