For over a century, our historic Moreton Bay Fig Tree has stood at the heart of the Miramar and each December, the community gathers beneath its giant branches for our most cherished tradition. Join us for pictures with Santa, live music, cookie decorating, a snow machine, raffle prizes, and more, complimentary and open to all.
Photo Experience
Each family is welcome to take a photo with Santa on his red throne beneath the Fig Tree. A complimentary digital copy will be provided 1-2 weeks after the event. A photo release form is required prior to participation.
Sunday, December 13 | 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. | The Front Drive
Spend the afternoon nibbling on savory sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and house-made preserves, followed by a selection of delightful sweets.
Join us each Saturday beginning May 25, 2026 for Mermaid Magic at the Miramar, where storytelling, songs, and shimmering bubbles bring the morning to life beneath the Santa Monica sun.
The season officially begins beneath the lights of our annual Tree Lighting Ceremony. Join us December 3 for an evening of carols performed by the Santa Monica High School Choir, hot chocolate, and photos with Santa.
