Prepare for The Holiday Suite. It's what your wildest oceanside Christmas dreams are made of, y'all.

One Fort Lauderdale Beach resort is totally sleighing (pun intended) the season.
Pelican Grand Beach Resort has transformed its premier rooftop Sky Suite into a full-blown holiday dreamscape — and trust us, this one goes way beyond twinkle lights. Available through January 3, 2026, The Holiday Suite is a once-a-year, once-in-a-lifetime, once-your-wallet-recovers type of experience. How much? A cool $12,250 a night with a three-night minimum. Holiday magic isn’t cheap, y’all.
This over-the-top festive takeover comes courtesy of two powerhouse partners: Draper James (Reese Witherspoon’s charming Southern lifestyle brand) and King of Christmas (aka the titans of iconic holiday trees). Together, they’ve turned Pelican Grand’s rooftop hideaway into a coastal-meets-Christmas wonderland. Think plush Draper James holiday bedding, sparkling King of Christmas décor, garlands on garlands, and enough festive touches to make Buddy the Elf cry.
Guests who book The Holiday Suite get the whole shebang. There’s a curated $1,500 Draper James holiday wardrobe - yes, including matching family pajamas - plus a “New Year, New You” PURE Spa day with a peppermint pedicure, hot cocoa body wrap, and gingerbread-inspired massage. The suite’s private rooftop terrace becomes the star of the show thanks to a Sugarplum Bubble Bath, drawn by a butler so you can soak under the stars in peak holiday luxury.
You also get a personal Christmas concierge for shopping and gift wrapping (through December 24), a private gingerbread-house-making class with champagne, nightly turndown featuring bubbly, mulled wine and treats, and a $500 dining credit for OCEAN2000, O2K Lounge or in-suite dining. You do get quite a bit beyond that stellar view and Christmas charm for the splurge.
