Holiday decor and activities at Beau Rivage Resort & Country singer-songwriter Josh Turner brings his King Size
Casino have become a much-loved December tradition for more than two decades, and locals and visitors are invited to celebrate this most wonderful time of the year at the
Biloxi resort. Each year between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, the resort transforms into a winter wonderland providing a full calendar of holiday entertainment, activities, specials, shopping, and family fun.
Christmas at Beau Rivage continues to grow in popularity as the resort blends annual traditions with new experiences each season. The public spaces are adorned with larger-than-life nutcrackers and Christmas ornaments, hundreds of frost- covered trees and thousands of poinsettias, plus Santa’s sleigh and reindeer can be found soaring high above the atrium.
A stunning 25-foot Christmas tree and classic winter scenes throughout the resort evoke the spirit of the season.
Beau Rivage’s holiday production Finding Christmas performs in the Beau Rivage Theatre December 15 through December 26. Offering two shows daily and three shows on Saturdays, this Broadway-style musical production follows two young siblings as they set out on a quest to find the true meaning of Christmas. Some say that seeing is believing, while others know that believing is trusting what’s in your heart.
Finding Christmas provides a mix of holiday classics and modern-day favorites from an ensemble cast of singers, dancers and actors. Accentuated by a beautiful snowfall at each performance, the production delivers the joy of the season to guests of all ages.
The Beau Rivage Theatre also plays host to an array of holiday headliners throughout December including The Commodores on December 2 and A Boy Band Christmas
on December 3. Featuring Jeff Timmons, Drew Lachey and Justin Jeffre (98 Degrees), Jamie Jones (All-4-One), Erik- Michael Estrada (O-Town), and Ryan Cabrera, A Boy Band Christmas brings a special evening of classic holiday songs and unforgettable hits.
Manger Tour on December 9 and The Nutcracker presented by the Mississippi Gulf Coast Ballet Theatre performs two shows December 10 and 11. And popular party band The Molly Ringwalds closes out 2022 with an unforgettable New Year’s Eve performance in the theatre.
Beau Rivage’s annual Holiday Open House provides an opportunity to find distinctive gifts for everyone on the Christmas list. From December 6 to 10, dozens of vendors and Coastal artisans will showcase their wares in the resort’s retail promenade and hotel second floor. Meet representatives and enjoy special holiday offerings from Gucci, Vera Bradley and Brighton, as well as local artists Coastal Grit, Coastyle Art and Flair Gifts among others.
