Holidays at The Inn

The holiday season at Chatham Bars Inn is a time of warmth, wonder, and festive celebration. From twinkling décor to joyful events and family traditions, the Inn comes alive with the magic of the season.

Holiday Magic Arrives Overnight

The holiday season at Chatham Bars Inn is nothing short of magical. Every year, the transformation begins the night after Thanksgiving when a dedicated team of hardworking “elves” works quietly through the night, stringing lights, hanging garlands, and adding festive touches throughout the property. By the time guests wake the next morning, the entire resort has been transformed into a holiday wonderland. Twinkling décor, coastal charm, and the warmth of the season create a setting that feels truly special—an instant invitation to celebrate.

Seasonal Events That Celebrate the Spirit

One of the highlights of the season is the lineup of signature holiday events and entertainment. Guests can settle in for Sound of the Season performances, where live music fills the Inn with timeless holiday melodies. Evenings become extra cozy with carolers and cocoa, bringing nostalgic charm to the property as melodies drift through the lobby and lounges. Those looking to toast the season can savor holiday wine tastings, featuring curated selections perfect for winter gatherings and festive celebrations.

Hands-On Workshops Filled With Creativity

Creativity and hands-on fun are also at the heart of the season. Guests can participate in a variety of festive workshops, each designed to inspire and delight. Beautiful greenery takes shape in wreath-decorating sessions, while holiday floral arranging and bouquet-making workshops invite guests to create stunning seasonal displays. Families can enjoy the sweet tradition of gingerbread house workshops, and those seeking a coastal touch can craft their own keepsake in the oyster decoupage ornament workshop. For adults looking to shake things up, holiday mixology classes offer a spirited way to learn the art of seasonal cocktails.

Family Traditions That Spark Holiday Joy

Families visiting the Inn will find endless moments of magic woven throughout their stay. Children can explore the wonder of Santa’s Workshop, cozy up for heartwarming Christmas storytelling, or experience the delight of our cherished Elf Tuck-Ins, where Santa’s helpers deliver a bedtime moment that feels straight out of a storybook. These beloved traditions create memories that stay with families long after the season ends.

Festive Fun Just Steps Away on Chatham Main Street

Just a short five-minute walk from the Inn, the charming Main Street of Chatham offers even more holiday cheer. The streets are adorned with twinkling lights and festive décor, and seasonal events like the Chatham Stroll bring the community together for music, shopping, and holiday fun. Guests can enjoy cozy cafes, boutique shopping, and the vibrant holiday atmosphere, making it easy to extend the magic of the season beyond the resort and into the heart of town.
