Seal Beach is one of the South Bay’s last genuinely small coastal communities: Old Town Main Street, the classic pier, and a resident community that prizes local character over development define a city that feels like a different world from the larger OC suburbs a few miles south. The Annual Christmas Tree Lighting at the Seal Beach Pier (with sledding for children, kids’ crafts, and a visit from Santa) and the Seal Beach Lions Club Christmas Parade anchor a holiday calendar built around community, not spectacle.
House of Kringle’s Santa Claus serves Seal Beach for private home visits in Old Town and the surrounding neighborhoods, and for group events at Leisure World Seal Beach throughout the holiday season. Seal Beach is just minutes from House of Kringle’s Long Beach home base, one of the most accessible cities in the service area.
Book early; December dates fill quickly.
