Year End & Holiday Celebration 2025

Step into the holiday spirit at the iconic and elegant Lido House in Newport Beach, a stunning Cape Cod-inspired venue on the historic site of the former City Hall. Join us on the terrace of The Mayor’s Table, transformed into a festive nautical-style Christmas market with sparkling décor, glowing lights, and cozy lounge areas warmed by outdoor heaters.

A Festive Culinary Experience
Your evening begins with a complimentary welcome drink - a warm mug of mulled wine or a soft drink - before exploring a variety of themed food stations, each designed to delight:

⭐ Smokin’ Hot Chili Con Carne Station with homemade cornbread
⭐ Live BBQ Grill Station serving authentic German bratwurst with sauerkraut and condiments
⭐ Loaded Baked Potato Station with all the “fixins”
⭐ Potato Cake Griddle Station with hot German potato cakes and apple compote
⭐ Dessert Station featuring winter favorites, Christmas cookies, and candied holiday almonds

After your welcome drink, continue the evening with our special bar menu, including mulled wine for $5 and festive drinks available for purchase.
