Holiday Cheer Arrives Early in Charleston

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Get ready for a sprinkle of magic because Thanksgiving is just around the corner and the Lowcountry is already in a festive frenzy! Excitement is in the air as colorful decorations and cheerful installations make their debut across the city, and it looks like this year, we’re in for a jolly treat.

Welcome to the Little Pine

One of the hottest spots in Charleston, The Little Palm, has transformed into the enchanting Little Pine just in time for the holiday season! The clever crew over at The Ryder Hotel on Meeting Street took this holiday rebrand seriously. When you step into the now Little Pine restaurant and bar, you’ll find yourself in an entirely new world filled with festive wonders.

A Festive Wonderland

You might even encounter a little snowfall to really set the mood. This spectacular installation is set to welcome guests starting this weekend, offering a delightful experience to get everyone in the holiday spirit.

Sip, Snack, and Sing Along

As you step inside Little Pine, you’ll be greeted with the sounds of Christmas carols filling the air.

The menu is designed to bring a sense of warmth and comfort inspired by the holiday season, and you won’t want to miss out on the special cocktails that are guaranteed to tickle your taste buds.

Last Year’s Success

Brad Buchanan from The Ryder Hotel has been busy soaking up all the positive feedback from last year’s festivities. He shared, “Last year there was tons of great feedback. Lines were out the door to sit in our cute little gondolas.” Sounds like the gondolas were a hit! This year, they are back with a fun cocktail menu to match the winter magic. And the ice rink? They’re counting on it becoming a big draw too.
