Nestled at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, Flagstaff, Arizona, is an idyllic mountain town—and a dreamy backdrop for celebrating a picture-perfect Christmas. But beyond its serene winter setting, when you spend your holidays at Little America Hotel, warm hospitality and a commitment to creating holiday magic will allow you and yours to make memories that will last a lifetime.
Looking for inspiration for a dream December getaway? Keep reading for five ways to brighten the holidays at Little America in Flagstaff.
1) Explore the North Pole with the North Pole Experience
All aboard the magic trolly! Next stop: the North Pole! Through Flagstaff’s North Pole Experience, your little ones can learn special elf skills from Santa’s helpers at Elf University, discover the secrets of Santa’s magic workshop, meet Mrs. Claus, enjoy sweets in her bakery, and so much more.
Not only is Little America home to North Pole Experience’s portal to the North Pole, it’s also the official lodging partner of NPX. When you book Little America’s NPX Meal & Lodging Package, you can prolong the magic with a one-night stay and a table for your family at Little America’s Breakfast with Santa gourmet holiday buffet.
2) Walk Through a Winter Wonderland
Amid the hustle and bustle of the holidays, spending some time outside is essential. Surrounded by 500 acres of private ponderosa pine forest, you can inhale fresh mountain air and exhale any lingering holiday stress. Our recommendation? Stroll at dusk and enjoy the millions of twinkling lights that decorate the serene forest of trees.
3) Keep It Cozy
Sometimes, the best part about the Christmas season is the lazy days spent staying indoors, cozying up to the ones you love. Let the whole family stay in their pajamas and order delicious in-room dining. From sweet treats and hot cocoa to all-American breakfast plates, our culinary team will make your slow morning feel like a five-star experience. Whether you watch the snow fall from your floor-to-ceiling windows or cozy up by the fire in one of our especially spacious Fireplace Suits.
4) Enjoy Après Ski
Just down the road from Arizona Snowbowl, Little America makes the perfect ski chalet for every skiing or boarding trip to Flagstaff. After a full day on the slopes, there’s no better feeling than warming up with a craft cocktail at Silver Pine Bar or feeding your cravings with a full meal in the Restaurant. From Burgers to light bites to share, stay where the après scene feels authentic at Little America.
5) Christmas Dinner with All the Fixings
Whether making Flagstaff your home for the holidays or if you’re a longtime local, there’s no better place to enjoy a decadent Christmas dinner than at Little America.
One of our beloved traditions, our culinary team has designed a three-course Prix Fixe menu with care, with seasonal and festive ingredients at the center of each course. With a variety of options on offer, Little America’s Christmas Dining is an elegant and stress-free way of bringing the whole family to the table this year. No mess or stress, so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time with the ones you love.
