Best Places to Visit from Chicago to Myrtle during Christmas

Myrtle Beach is a warm, festive Christmas escape from Chicago — shows, lights, and the shore, all at the end of an easy drive south. Here’s what to see with the group.

Shows and entertainment

Myrtle Beach shines at the holidays with the Alabama Theatre, the Carolina Opry, and the Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show — big, festive entertainment for all ages.

Lights and attractions

Explore Broadway at the Beach and don’t miss The Great Christmas Light Show — a dazzling display that makes the trip merry and bright.

The beach in winter

Even in December, the Myrtle Beach shore is a relaxing change of pace from the Chicago cold — a holiday getaway with sand and sunshine.

Why a van makes it easy

One comfortable van keeps the group together for the drive, with room for luggage and gifts — far easier and cheaper than flying everyone. two additional drivers are free (three drivers in total) to share the wheel.

Which van should you pick?

For comfort, the 15-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter; for value, the 15-passenger Ford Transit. Browse the full fleet.
