Seasons greetings, Myrtle Beach travelers.
The offseason — especially during the holidays — is a beautiful time on the Grand Strand. Your favorite vacation spot features pleasant weather and a host of fun activities. Time to book that fall trip (and pack a hoodie!)
Here’s how to have fun in Myrtle Beach for the holidays.
Fast Facts About the Holiday Season
As kids, it was torture to wait for Christmas. As grownups, it gets here awfully fast! Here are some fun tidbits to know about the holiday season.
- Men procrastinate
One in three will wait until Christmas Eve to shop! Visa credit cards get used 6,000 a minute during the holidays. Wonder how many are those men.
- Quick as the Dickens
Charles Dickens wrote “A Christmas Carol” in six weeks. And six weeks after publication, Edward Stirling adapted it for the stage.
- Social media matters
67% of consumers have bought a gift they first saw on social media channels. YouTube alone has 2 billion monthly active users globally.
