LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ, UNITED STATES, November 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As winter approaches and travelers seek warm-weather escapes filled with adventure, festive charm, and one-of-a-kind experiences, Lake Havasu City and London Bridge Resort continue to stand out as one of the Southwest’s top winter destinations. Known for its iconic scenery, legendary holiday traditions, and vibrant event calendar, the region welcomes guests to trade snow boots for sunshine during the most magical time of year.

A Winter Wonderland—With Sunshine
While much of the country bundles up, Lake Havasu City delivers mild temperatures, clear skies, and a lively waterfront atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy everything from scenic hikes and outdoor recreation to strolling along the famous London Bridge, exploring the English Village, and soaking in the city’s sparkling holiday displays.

Holiday Magic at London Bridge Resort
Each year, London Bridge Resort transforms into a festive spectacle, making it one of the most photographed and visited holiday destinations in Arizona. The centerpiece of the season is the Festival of Lights, where more than 750,000 lights illuminate the English Village nightly beginning November 28. Guests can wander through twinkling pathways, enjoy animated light shows every half hour, and take in the magic of the season from the resort’s beautifully decorated lobby and waterfront walkways.
The season officially kicks off with the beloved Swim Across the Channel, now celebrating its 30th anniversary. More than 100 brave swimmers race across the Bridgewater Channel for the honor of “flipping the switch” to light up the Village, a tradition that has become a defining moment of the community's holiday spirit.

Family Fun: The 12 Days of Christmas
Following the lighting ceremony, London Bridge Resort launches its annual 12 Days of Christmas, a series of family-friendly experiences running Wednesdays–Fridays through December 19th. Guests enjoy:
• Visits with Santa & Mrs. Claus
• Ice skating on the resort’s new, real-ice rink
• Letters to Santa
• Face painting
• Grinch appearances
• S’mores & fire pits
• Holiday food vendors
• Naughty & Nice holiday drinks
It’s an unforgettable experience for families seeking cheerful, festive getaway moments.
