Festive Jingle Bell Bar at Ocean Casino Resort featuring holiday lights, décor, and themed cocktails.

Published: October 2025

If you're dreaming of a white Christmas with a side of white wine, welcome to your new favorite holiday tradition. At Ocean Casino Resort, the halls aren’t just decked—they’re dripping in seasonal sparkle, oversized cocktails, spa days, and designer shopping bags. Whether you're a festive foodie, a professional gift-giver, or just here for the après-everything, Ocean is Atlantic City’s ultimate holiday headquarters.

And trust us, there’s no need to pick a side—we’ve made it very easy to be both naughty and nice.

Check In. Turn Up. Repeat.

Let’s start where all great weekends do: the suite. Ocean’s holiday-themed rooms are located on a dedicated festive floor, complete with twinkling décor, trees trimmed to perfection, and wintry turndown touches that make every night feel like December 24.

And if you're feeling a little mischievous? Go straight for the Mean Green Holiday Suite—a two-bedroom experience inspired by everyone’s favorite holiday villain and his pink-loving sidekick. Think bold colors, magical accents, and just the right amount of attitude. One night and your heart might grow three sizes, too.

Stay at Ocean and turn your holiday mood board into a mood suite.

The North Pole Called. It’s Jealous.

Just steps from the Atlantic City Boardwalk, Ocean’s Santa’s Hideaway Adventure transforms an ordinary elevator ride into a full-blown sleigh experience. Head up to the North Pole, where you’ll meet Santa himself (camera-ready, of course), sip hot chocolate, and maybe sneak a Mrs. Claus-approved cookie or two.

Before heading back, swing by Ocean's Holiday Village located at The Shops at The Row for curated gifts and holiday keepsakes. Yes, this counts as cardio.

Holiday Dining That Sleighs

Forget candy canes and move straight to the good stuff: spiked cocoa, seaside pasta, and prix-fixe menus that could convert even the Scroogiest palate.

Ocean’s restaurants are going all in this season—starting with Linguini By The Sea, which transforms into a Winter Wonderland complete with snowy décor, seasonal cocktails, and a dreamy, "did we just teleport to the Alps?" vibe. Planning a dinner party? Book early—this spot is holiday gold.

Over at the Jingle Bell Bar, the energy is dialed up and the drinks are dressed to impress. It's a pop-up bar bursting with holiday spirit, over-the-top garnishes, cozy corners, and cocktails that deserve their own unwrapping video.

And don’t sleep on the seasonal dining specials across the resort—because dining at Ocean is basically a love letter to indulgence.

Shop, Sip, and Sparkle

Holiday shopping, but make it chic. Starting Small Business Saturday (November 29), the aforementioned Ocean Holiday Village at The Shops at The Row returns with local vendors, sweet treats, and a curated market feel that’s more stylish than stressful. Shop every Saturday (plus select Sundays) through December 20—and be one of the first 100 guests on opening day to snag an exclusive Ocean holiday tote (you know how much we love swag).

Looking for something you can’t wrap? Head to ShopOceanAC.com or Bottled for Ocean’s signature merch, including holiday-scented sticks, a custom bedding set, limited-edition snow globes, ornaments, and this year’s head-turning Tipsy Elves ugly sweater collab. It's giving sleigh all day.

And if you’re the generous type, don’t miss the Ocean Cares exclusive Teal Globe Ornament—proceeds support the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City, so your tree gets a little more meaning this year.

One Night Only (That You’ll Talk About All Season)

If your idea of holiday magic includes a flying trapeze or a childhood icon, we’ve got you covered.

First up: Cirque Musica Holiday Wonderland hits Ovation Hall on Sunday, December 14 with high-flying acrobatics, festive music, and jaw-dropping spectacle that’ll have you rethinking your holiday playlist.

And for the nostalgia crowd, don’t miss the 35th Anniversary Screening of Home Alone on Sunday, December 7, followed by a live, moderated Q&A with Macaulay Culkin himself. Big screen laughs, behind-the-scenes stories, and the ultimate holiday throwback? Keep the change, ya filthy animal.

Play Hard. Party Harder.

It’s not the holidays without a little risk and reward. On the casino floor, Ocean Casino Promotions are bringing the heat with themed games, festive giveaways, and enough excitement to keep the season spinning. Yes, your ugly sweater is welcome here.

And if you’d rather dance than deal, HQ2 Nightclub + Beachclub is serving champagne, DJs, and over-the-top nightlife all winter long. It's where sparkles meet strobe lights.

Giving Back (Ocean Style)

The holidays aren’t just about champagne and spa days—although, yes, we fully support both. Ocean’s Season of Giving is back, with team members dedicating time, resources, and donations to more than 15 local nonprofits.

It’s part of the Ocean Cares initiative and supports causes across the Atlantic City region—from youth programs and food access to housing, education, and wellness. Giving back? Very on brand.
