Bells will be ringing this season as Beau Rivage invites locals and visitors to experience its brand of holiday magic. MGM Resorts International’s beachfront resort will be making spirits bright with its annual month-long celebration of holiday entertainment, festive décor and special events for the entire family.
Now through Jan. 3, Beau Rivage will be dressed in holiday style with thousands of twinkling lights, larger- than-life nutcrackers and ornaments, gingerbread houses and enchanting winter displays. More than 2,000 poinsettias and dozens of brilliantly decorated trees — including a stunning new 20-foot Christmas tree — will offer opportunities to capture photos. Free entertainment will be featured in the resort’s atrium as
local choral groups echo
the sounds of the season 5
p.m.-7 p.m. nightly,
December 15-24.
“Over the years, Beau Rivage has
become synonymous with Christmas tradition in South Mississippi,”
said Beau Rivage Vice President of Marketing Brandon Dardeau. “Beau Rivage Horticulturist Teresa Malone and her team begin preparations months in advance, and it brings us great joy to spread Christmas cheer to residents and visitors who come here during the holidays.”
New this year, Santa and friends will host an upscale Christmas brunch on December 16. from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., BR Prime’s intimate setting provides a unique backdrop for those special moments with Santa, along with a delectable presentation of food, live-action stations, and holiday pastries. Each child will receive a limited-edition gift and commemorative photo with
