Plan a company party

A Jacksonville tradition

Step inside the holidays.

Hard Candy Christmas is the season we look forward to all year. From the first week of November through New Year's Eve, every inch of Sandollar is dressed in red, white, and twinkle.

Giant peppermints swirl from the ceiling. Candy canes wrap the columns. Garland glows along every window while the St. Johns River sparkles beyond the glass. It is the kind of room that makes everyone stop in the doorway and smile.

Bring the kids, bring the in-laws, bring a date. Bring a camera, too.

Hard Candy Christmas runs November 4th through December 31st
