‘Tis the season for making merry memories at Kingston Resorts. From Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day, our resorts offer a long list of holiday experiences to delight guests of all ages. Join us for family-style festive dinners, explore a calendar full of holly jolly happenings, and gather among the glow of twinkling lights. It’s a true winter wonderland, just a little warmer.

Thanksgiving

Joining us for Thanksgiving? Celebrate the holiday with a new tradition—dining by the ocean at Kingston Resorts. Our resorts are offering two distinct styles of Thanksgiving feast to give thanks to guests. 

At Black Drum Brewing, savor an all-you-can-eat family-style menu paired with over 40 beers on tap. Think apple cider-brined turkey breast, maple smoked cured ham, and calabash fried oysters—plus all the traditional fixings and a few inventive twists. For dessert, graze from a reception-style buffet featuring a trio of decadent sweets. Then, settle in by the fire to sample Black Drum’s extensive tap list until late. See the full menu here.

For a more traditional Thanksgiving dinner, join us at Café Amalfi in the Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort. Enjoy floor-to-ceiling views of the Atlantic and order from a special menu featuring festive favorites such as fried Amish turkey, Cola braised short ribs, praline sweet potatoes, and mashed potatoes au gratin. And for the finale? Stop by the unique flambée station for a classic bananas foster or cherries jubilee. See the full menu here.

Christmas

It’s about time you’ve had yourself a merry Myrtle Beach Christmas. Here, the most wonderful time of the year is set to the sound of waves and wrapped in coastal charm. From family-friendly fun to multi-course dinners and our Christmas Village open every Saturday, experience the holidays at Kingston Resorts.

Enchanted Christmas Village

Visit our Enchanted Christmas Village every Saturday from November 30 to December 28 and embark on a holiday adventure inspired by The Polar Express. Whether you stroll over from your hotel or hop aboard the Kingston Express shuttle,  be sure to visit each train depot. The additional stops offer a unique family-friendly experience and are available through the Kingston Passport Discounts which can be purchased for $10 at the Enchanted Christmas Village.

Get creative by crafting a one-of-a-kind North Pole ornament to hang on your tree. Then, gather the little ones for a visit with Santa Claus himself. No Christmas village is complete without sweets, so head to our cookie decorating station and get to work with an array of icings, sprinkles, and edible decorations.

Every Saturday, catch a special screening of The Polar Express, followed by another favorite holiday flick for a cozy movie night. Feeling competitive? Challenge your family to a round of seasonal games like snowball toss or Christmas cornhole before enjoying a round of s’mores and sips. As you explore, keep an eye out for hidden train crossings and unlock a lifetime supply of delicacies as part of our Kingston Golden Train Ticket Scavenger Hunt.

Christmas Dinners

Sit down at the oceanfront Café Amalfi for an à la carte menu of seasonal favorites with a touch of North Carolina flair, including shrimp Amalfi, creamy lobster risotto, and classic tiramisu. See the full menu, available on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and be sure to reserve a table for this special occasion.

For a laid-back holiday feast, drop into Black Drum Brewing. This all-day, all-you-can-eat event is a celebration of festive flavors, seasonal drinks, and cozy moments in good company. An exclusive menu will feature seasonal-inspired creations, like the Festive Holly Wreath Pizza and smoked pimento cheese fritters served with red and green pepper jelly. Oh, and did we mention Champagne? Find the full menu here.

New Year’s Eve & Day

Ring in 2025 on your private balcony overlooking the ocean, or dressed to impress—and dance! If you’re spending the last day of the year with us, there are so many ways to make it a memorable one. For a night of celebration, buy tickets to the Long Bay Symphony’s annual New Year’s Eve Gala and fundraiser benefit. This black-tie affair promises a spectacular night of craft cocktails, gourmet dining, and dancing until the early hours—all taking place just across from Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort.

Savor the last evening of the year at Café Amalfi‘s intimate New Year’s Eve soirée. Offering a menu filled with the finer things—including Stuffed Lobster Tail and Wagyu NY Strip—it’s an indulgent celebration of the year’s end. The dining event wraps up at 10:00 pm, giving you plenty of time to relax at your resort or make it to your midnight plans. Take a look at the menu here, and make sure to reserve a table. If you miss Café Amalfi’s NYE soirée, don’t worry—they’re also serving up a special à la carte New Year’s Day brunch to kick off 2024 in Myrtle Beach style.
