OC Gets Even Hotter in Winter

Five Cool Ways to Stay Warm

From fire pits by the beach and hot spring spa treatments to holiday tea service and flaming foods, there are so many fun ways to heat up this winter in Orange County!

A Cup of Tea – Warm up with a soothing cup of hot tea this holiday season. The Balboa Bay Club offers Holiday Afternoon Tea in front of the fireplace. The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel serves Holiday Tea, including a Christmas Bellini, or bring the kids to the Teddy Bear Tea & Puppet Show. The St. Regis Resort Monarch Beach adds a twist to traditional tea with their Holiday Tea & Tinis during December.

Flaming Food – Nothing is hotter than entertainment around a flaming grill! Enjoy the art and the amazing flavors of Teppan-style cooking at Benihana (two OC locations: Anaheim and Newport Beach) or CHOMP in Fullerton.

Warm Relaxation – Head out to Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa and bathe in the natural mineral waters. Or, try a heated stone massage, with heated river rocks applied directly on the body to create a deeply relaxing and unique experience, at Glen Ivy Day Spa in Brea or one of OC’s other luxurious spas.

Fireside – Sip a cocktail with friends around the fire pit at Chimayo at the Beach. Cozy up with a loved one in front of the hearth in the lobby of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel® or poolside at The Island Hotel's outdoor fireplace. Grab
firewood, marshmallows and the family for a bonfire at Huntington State Beach.

Heat of the Night – Feel your temperature rise as you groove to the beat at Club Vegas or Tentation – two of OC’s hottest nightclubs.
