The Meritage Resort and Spa’s beloved Merry Meritage returns to Napa Valley with an enchanting holiday season kickoff. The highlight of the evening is the annual tree lighting ceremony featuring a 40-foot tree and a magical “snowfall” finale. The celebration includes live music from Napa School of Music, American Canyon Chamber Choir, and Mercy & The Heartbeats, plus a “Merry Meritage On Ice” performance by Redwood Ice Theatre Company. Families can enjoy activities like face painting, letters to Santa, train rides, and meet-and-greets with Mr. and Mrs. Claus, Mickey & Minnie Mouse, and other favorite characters.

Admission is free with an RSVP, and attendees are encouraged to bring toy donations for Toys For Tots. Merry Meritage festivities continue through January 11 with skating, dining, and family events that capture the holiday spirit in Wine Country.
