Christmas by the Sea in Blackpool
The sea breeze off Blackpool’s promenade becomes something unexpectedly festive in December as the lights along the pier glint like a trail of stars and the golden sands of the shore are wrapped in a soft winter hush. At the Adelphi Holiday Flats you step out of the front door and you’re right on the beach, the tram tracks hum past, and the town’s famous tower looms nearby, its silhouette set against early dusk.
You might wander along the illuminated promenade, pause for a mince pie and hot chocolate at a seaside café, then explore the bustling Central Pier with its seasonal rides and nostalgic arcades. Back at your self-catered flat you can draw the curtains, maybe light a little fire on the kitchenette stove, or simply settle in front of the TV with sea-view glazing reflecting the twinkle of lights. Families love this base because it offers space, comfort and convenience as winter sets in, and couples appreciate the sound of the waves beyond the windows as a calm backdrop to festive cheer.
Even the seafront fish and chips taste better when wrapped in fairy lights and sea salt air. After a day of exploring the town’s Christmas window-displays, festive markets and lights, you’ll drift off to sleep hearing the gentle rhythm of the surf rather than city traffic. By staying at the Adelphi Holiday Flats you get the unique mix of seaside escape and Christmas magic — a stay that feels both intimate and full of seasonal charm.
