Christmas in Southern California

December 22, 2014 08:54 PM

If you’re not particularly drawn to a snowy holiday season then perhaps a Christmas in Southern California is just what you are looking for. Replace your hot chocolate and fireplace with a beach towel and sunscreen and head to the sandy beaches of Southern California for a new style of white Christmas. With your rental RV from Expedition Motor Homesyou can take to the road and experience many of the wonderful things The Golden State has to offer for the holidays. The list of festivities is endless, but here are a few of our favorites!

Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade

The New York Times has called this holiday event one of the top ten in the country and for good reason. From 6:30 – 9pm and from December 17 to the 21take your rental RV down to Newport Beach to watch decorated and lighted canoes, kayaks, personal boats, and multi-million dollar yachts take to the harbor. The parade travels around the entire harbor, and there isn’t a bad spot to take in the festivities that help make Christmas in Southern California the absolute best.

The Festival of Lights at the Mission Inn

Located in Riverside, California the Mission Inn has created a staple of California holiday tradition over the two-decade history of The Festival of Lights. The lighting ceremony occurs the day after Thanksgiving, but the display is will be up through Christmas. Three million Christmas lights will draw your attention and the hundreds of animated figures, both inside and out, can keep you exploring for hours. With ice-skating, Santa Claus, and delicious Christmas cookies this is one stop you don’t want to miss on your holiday road trip!

The Queen Mary Chill

If you find yourself aching for a little snow and ice during your Christmas in Southern California, drive on over to Long Beach to experience The Queen Mary Chill. The 2014 season will be the 3^rd year of this unique holiday tradition. Over two million pounds of sparkling ice is brought to the Queen Mary ship to create a winter adventure land, and lights, bright colors, and professional carved sculpturescapture the magic and wonder of the holiday season – creating a wintery escape in sunny Southern California.

Robolights

Point your steering wheel to Palm Springs this winter to take in the seven million twinkling lights that are a part of Robolights – the largest, and most unique, residential light display in the U.S. Combining The North Pole with robots in a futuristic winter wonderland all for you to explore, we guarantee you have never seen anything quite like this staple of Southern California Christmas.

Downtown Ice Skating

Just because you’re in California doesn’t mean you have to give up all of your favorite winter past times. Bring along a pair of ice skates, or rent some on site, if you plan on spending any time in Los Angeles or San Diego. Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego provides beachside ice-skating, and Pershing Square in downtown LA is a great place to channel your inner figure skater and take part in a variety of great holiday events, contributing to your perfect Christmas in Southern California. This winter, as you take to the road in your rental from Expedition Motor Homes, embrace all that is Christmas in California. With friendly reminders of colder climates and light displays you simply won’t find anywhere else California is a must visit destination this holiday season. |Contact us now to book your next trip.

It was awesome. It was so great. It was so fantastic. We loved the RV. It was so accommodating. It was only three of us: [me] my husband and my son and we had a wonderful time. Thank you for renting to us and we will definitely be renting again.

Chris

From Toronto, Canada. We came down to Expedition to pick up an RV for a special surfing vacation for my son here who turned 15 this week. I gotta tell ya, it’s been an awesome experience. We went up the coast to Santa Barabara and down. We had perfect sites of the beach; looking at the ocean. He got a chance to experience surfing the California way – an overall great experience. RV was just the way to go. Made it a beautiful experience for us. The people at Expedition were perfect; helped us out throughout… were very kind and generous and we just had a great vacation because of it. So I recommend anyone whose thinking about it… Definitely call Expedition. You’ll enjoy it and you won’t regret it.

We flew from Europe and rented a motor home from ExpeditionMotorHomes.com. And, it was a fantastic experience from start to end. When we arrived, we had… the staff was very friendly; taught us how to use the motor home. They had videos online you can practice with and look at. And the actual trip, the quality of the motor home was perfect. This was the first time for my family and I and it will not be the last. We will be doing this again and obviously from the same supplier because everything from start to finish was perfect.

I have rented from this company seven times in the last eight years. They do an amazing job. Most recently, I had errored on my departure date (I should have looked at the contract when they sent it to me!) and when I arrived a day early, they accommodated me. Thank you, Matt, for making a year without Martin easy! I recommend this company to anyone wanting to rent an RV. It’s so much easier than you think.

The Expedition Motorhome family took great care of our family. This is our third straight year renting trailers and RV’s from Expedition and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. They are a small shop with big customer service. The RV’s are in great condition on the inside and under the hood. We drive to the Tahoe area from LA every year and they make the long haul with no problems. We camped with other families who rented from other vendors and had nothing but problems. See you next year!

We had a great experience with Expedition Motor Homes. My family and I rented an RV for a weekend camping trip, something we had never done before. The staff was extremely helpful and informative, and everything went smoothly. The RV was in great working order, very clean and great looking. We will definitely rent from the again in the future!

This was our first rental from Expedition. Everything went smoothly. They had excellent customer service from the beginning to the return. The RV we rented was in great condition, with the exception of a few minor issues. These issues didn’t cause any trouble, and I know they will have them fixed for the next renter. We are already looking forward to our next RV vacation, and we will be sure to use Expedition!
