As the Phoenix area prepares to bask in festive cheer once again, the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa is rolling out the red carpet for the season's must-attend holiday spectacle. Beginning November 21 and running through January 3, 'Jingle at JW Desert Ridge' promises to return with all the merriment and a bounty of new features to entice families and friends to make merry in the desert, Phoenix New Times reports.
Announcing significant changes to the program, Paige Lund, general manager of JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa, told The Best of the Southwest, "The inaugural year of Jingle at JW was overwhelmingly embraced by our guests and local community and we can’t wait to show everyone what we have in store for season two." With the resort now offering a Jingle Experience Pass that consolidates most festivities under a single ticket, the approach simplifies guests' access to the trove of holiday activities – a move surely appreciated by anyone who's ever fumbled through a mitt-full of tickets in the cold.
Highlights include the addition of snow tubing on genuine snowy slopes and a Lazy River Holiday Light Stroll through the resort's waterpark, glowing with an array of lights for nighttime ambience. While popular attractions such as the Jingle Jump and ice-skating are again on offer, the resort isn't just resting on last year’s tinsel. The newly introduced attractions, such as the Jingle Snowball Toss and the Secret Santa Scavenger Hunt, promise to be on many wish lists, and those are all listed by The Best of the Southwest as well.
While the Jingle Experience Pass, with weekday prices starting at $29 and $35 on weekends, covers most activities, there are still some attractions like the Gingerbread Decorating Corner that carry an additional cost. For big spenders seeking something more exclusive, the resort has introduced pricey fire tables starting at $99, which come with a s'mores kit for that quintessential fireside snack, obtained by The Best of the Southwest. And for those looking to splurge, holiday packages include a "Jingle All The Way" deal featuring room accommodations and Jingle Experience Passes detailed by the Phoenix New Times.
Interested parties should mark their calendars; 'Jingle at JW' is set to dazzle from 5 p.m. onwards, becoming a longer night of fun on weekends. For tickets or to plan your holiday escape, visit their website or call directly for all the festive details. Rest assured, this event places Phoenix as a top destination this holiday season for anyone looking to enhance their festive cheer with a dusting of desert snow and a splash of seasonal sparkle.
