A Myrtle Beach December isn't complete without seeing one of the area's famous holiday shows. These shows feature festive songs, comedy, and outstanding performances that entertain audiences of all ages.
- The Carolina Opry Christmas Special ("The Christmas Show of the South") delivers dazzling talent and holiday cheer.

Both venues are just a short drive from Grande Shores Ocean Resort, so you can easily return afterward for a late-night dip in the heated indoor pool or a relaxing evening listening to the waves from your private balcony.
Visit Broadway at the Beach, one of Myrtle Beach's top attractions for all ages. In December, the area lights up with festive displays, holiday shopping, and tasty treats. From unique gifts and restaurants to fun rides at Pavilion Park, there's something for everyone.
