Christmas in Blackpool brings together all the excitement of a seaside holiday with the sparkle of a winter celebration. From the moment the famous Illuminations begin to glow through the darker evenings, the promenade becomes a living festival of light. Visitors staying at The Belmont Hotel enjoy front-row access to this unique display, with sea views and the gentle hum of the trams passing along the coast.
Throughout December, the town comes alive with festive events for all ages. The Tower Ballroom hosts its popular Christmas dance nights, filling the grand hall with music, laughter, and twinkling lights. Families can meet Santa inside the Blackpool Tower itself, where the grotto and winter wonderland experience create lasting memories for children. The Winter Gardens transforms into a magical market, featuring craft stalls, seasonal food, and live entertainment beneath its ornate glass roof.
Nearby, the Grand Theatre offers a traditional pantomime – a must-see highlight filled with laughter and local character. For those looking for outdoor fun, the skating rink at the Tower Festival Headland gives everyone a chance to glide under the stars, while the town’s many restaurants and bars serve up festive menus and warming drinks. After a day of exploring, returning to The Belmont Hotel is part of the pleasure – cosy, friendly, and perfectly located for guests who want to make the most of every moment.
Whether it’s your first visit or a cherished annual tradition, Christmas in Blackpool offers something special: the glow of the lights, the sound of the sea, and the warmth of a seaside welcome that makes the season truly shine.
