Westfield UTC’s newest holiday spectacular, Peppermint Beach Club, has arrived and offers families, friends, visitors, and locals a place to celebrate the holidays and relish in the magic of the North Pole San Diego style. Peppermint Beach Club will dazzle and delight with an array of activities including fabulous parties, retailer pop-ups, fan-favorite snowfall, playful visits with Mrs. Claus and the elves, and a live DJ to help spread holiday cheer.

Queenstown Bistro – Set in the heart of Peppermint Beach Club is Queenstown Bistro, offering patrons a curated seasonal menu inspired by Westfield UTC’s resort-like holiday destination.
