For San Diego County families

Coastal Christmas Del Mar, with Pip

Get festival tickets, write a free letter to Santa, and share a wish list so family can give the festival as a gift.

Get festival tickets

Tickets are sold by the festival's official ticket partner. The letter and wish list are free.

How it works

  1. 1

    Get your festival tickets

    Skating, the light tunnel and Santa by the sea at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

  2. 2

    Write a free letter to Santa

    Your child tells Santa their wishes with Pip. Festival tickets are already on the wish list.

  3. 3

    Share the wish list with family

    Grandparents, aunts and uncles get a private link. They can buy festival tickets or gifts, and your child never sees who bought what.

  4. 4

    Optional: the Coastal storybook

    A personalized hardcover keepsake where your child flies with Pip over the festival. $39.99 plus shipping.

Optional add-on

The Coastal Christmas storybook

Pip and your child soar over the skating rink, through the light tunnel, and deliver their letter at the festival mailbox. Then the dream comes true with a family night at the festival.

Available now for our first sixteen characters, with more on the way. Every page is illustrated with the character you pick — no substitutions.
