Thousands of lights
Every beam, rail, and window glows. Walk in and the whole dining room sparkles above you.
November 4 through December 31, 2026
Every holiday season, Sandollar transforms into a glittering candy-colored wonderland. Come for dinner, stay for the lights.
A Jacksonville tradition
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.

What to expect
Every beam, rail, and window glows. Walk in and the whole dining room sparkles above you.
Candy canes, peppermints, ornaments, and snowflakes float overhead, with something new to spot at every table.
Festive drinks made for the season. Sip something merry while the river glimmers outside.
Seasonal plates from our kitchen, alongside the coastal favorites our guests love all year.

Corporate Christmas parties
Skip the ballroom. Give your team a holiday celebration with a real wow factor: thousands of lights, a waterfront view, festive drinks, and a seasonal menu, all without lifting a finger.
Holiday dates go quickly, so reach out early.
