Christmas Fest at Old World

Each holiday season, Old World Huntington Beach transforms into a festive European-inspired winter village with Christmas Fest and Christmas Market OC - a seasonal celebration featuring holiday shopping, traditional foods, live entertainment, and family-friendly activities in the heart of Huntington Beach.

Often described as Orange County’s largest European-style Christmas Market, the event brings together twinkling lights, festive décor, imported holiday gifts, artisan vendors, and the charm of an old-world holiday village. Guests can explore indoor and outdoor shopping areas while enjoying seasonal favorites like gingerbread, stollen, chocolates, pastries, warm drinks, and traditional European holiday treats.

Running from mid-November through early January, Christmas Fest features a rotating calendar of holiday programming that may include Santa visits, tree lightings, Christmas movie nights, arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, live music, themed performances, ugly sweater contests, and special cultural traditions such as Saint Martin’s lantern parades. Many activities are designed with families and children in mind, creating a welcoming holiday destination for visitors of all ages.

With free admission, free parking, and daily seasonal experiences throughout the village, Christmas Fest at Old World offers a unique Southern California holiday experience inspired by the atmosphere and traditions of classic European Christmas markets.
