One of the best parts about living in paradise is basking in the beachfront sun during the holidays, while the rest of the country is shoveling snow instead of sand. TradeWinds Resort, one of St. Pete Beach\u2019s biggest stars, is hosting an incredible lineup of holiday events<\/a> to make the season merry and bright on the beach this year.<\/p>\n

From Santa-themed events and movie nights, to bar crawls and a destination-worthy New Year\u2019s Eve party, it\u2019s a one-stop celebration on the sand. Plus, with new restaurants making their debut throughout the properties, we\u2019ve never had more reasons to visit TradeWinds Resorts.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s this year\u2019s holiday event roundup at TradeWinds Resort:<\/p>\n

Saturday, December 20, 8AM-12PM
Snap a holiday photo with Santa and have a chat with Mrs. Claus! Reserve<\/a> a breakfast table at the all-new Pete\u2019s Gulf Bistro. Mrs. Claus and her cheerful elf will stop by your table to share festive conversation and help you with your Christmas wish list. A breakfast purchase and a $10 donation to TradeWinds\u2019 charitable fund gives you a special visit with Santa himself, along with a complimentary digital photo to capture the moment.<\/p>\n

Thursday, December 25, 11AM-2PM
Start off your Christmas morning with a festive luxe brunch buffet at Island Grand.<\/a> This buffet spread is expansive, featuring everything from herb-crusted prime rib and roast turkey to fresh seafood, made-to-order omelets, pasta and risotto stations, and several indulgent dessert options.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Seating is available at 11am, 12pm, 1pm, and 2pm. Wine, beer, and cocktails will be available for purchase at the event. An unlimited beverage package can also be purchased during the check-out process.<\/p>\n
