‘Tis the season to be jolly and San Diego is ringing in the festivities with a spectacular holiday showcase – Peppermint Beach Club at Westfield UTC. As the premier outdoor lifestyle destination in the heart of San Diego, Westfield UTC has transformed into a winter wonderland, blending the magic of the North Pole with the laid-back charm of the California coast.

It’s the perfect holiday setting for families, friends, visitors and locals to revel in the holiday spirit, San Diego style.
Peppermint Beach Club offers guests a variety of retailer pop-ups, including Gepetto’s Toys, Sun Diego and just arrived brands to UTC like Alice & Olivia, alongside fan-favorite snowfall, visits from Santa, Mrs. Claus and the Elves, and a festive DJ.
