Ocean Casino Resort will offer 30 holiday-themed rooms and suites this season, including a new Gingerbread Dream Suite, as part of its winter lineup in Atlantic City.
The resort’s 2026 holiday plans also include Santa’s Hideaway Adventure, a holiday market, and December shows at Ovation Hall.
Jingle Bell Bar is returning in a new location at Nola’s Bar & Lounge.
Holiday rooms available from Thanksgiving through early January
Ocean’s holiday accommodations are available for stays from Nov. 26 through Jan. 3. For the fourth consecutive year, the resort will dedicate an entire floor to holiday décor, with trees and hot chocolate kits among the room features.
The Gingerbread Dream Suite has a gingerbread-themed living room, a peppermint-inspired primary bedroom, and a connecting room decorated in pastel candy colors. Guests receive hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies on arrival, with family games available during their stay.
The returning Mean Green Holiday Suite features a two-bedroom layout with green accents and a pink-accented connecting room.
Other options include One Bedroom Suites, Studio Suite Blu accommodations, Social Suites, and Blu Queen rooms, along with a Social Suite with a Blu Queen connector.
Ocean underwent a $50 million upgrade covering hotel rooms, dining, and entertainment in 2025.
Guests can reserve the accommodations online. Additional resort fees and taxes apply at check-in, and Ocean notes that room contents will differ from promotional photos.
Santa’s Hideaway returns Nov. 5
Santa’s Hideaway Adventure returns to The Shops at The Row, with public visits scheduled from Nov. 5 through Dec. 24. The attraction takes guests on a virtual elevator journey to the North Pole before they meet Santa and pose for photos.
Ocean’s photo packages accommodate six guests and include a digital gallery and printed photos. Prices vary by date:
- Nov. 5-22: $69.99 on available operating dates.
- Nov. 27-Dec. 24: $79.99 Monday through Thursday, except Dec. 21–24.
- Peak dates: $84.99 Friday through Sunday and Dec. 21–24.
Ocean recommends reservations; walk-up visits subject to availability. Guests should still allow time for a wait after check-in because multiple families share each 15-minute reservation window. Operating hours also vary by date and are listed on the attraction’s website.
Jingle Bell Bar moves to Nola’s as holiday dining and shows return
Jingle Bell Bar opens Nov. 14 at Nola’s Bar & Lounge, near the casino floor. The seasonal pop-up will feature holiday cocktails, decorations, and themed entertainment, including The Boy Band Project on Dec. 5.
Linguini By The Sea follows with its Winter Wonderland setup on Nov. 27, offering a seasonal menu and specialty cocktails alongside ocean views.
Ocean’s holiday entertainment schedule also lists two December shows at Ovation Hall. Trisha Paytas brings her Trishmas Live Tour to the venue at 9 p.m. Dec. 11, followed by Cirque Dreams Holidaze at 4 p.m. Dec. 20.
Cirque Dreams combines holiday music with circus acts and aerial performances. Tickets for both shows are available through Ocean’s event listings.
Holiday Village returns for select November and December dates
Ocean’s Holiday Village returns to The Shops at The Row with gifts and treats from local businesses.
The market runs from noon to 7 p.m. on Nov. 28 and Dec. 5, 12, 19, and 20. The first 200 shoppers each day receive a holiday swag bag.
A special edition presented by Motivated Mommies is scheduled for Dec. 13, featuring local vendors and family-friendly offerings.
Ocean says a portion of the proceeds from its Teal Globe Holiday Ornament will benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City. The resort’s broader Season of Giving campaign will support more than 15 area nonprofits through the end of the year.
