Deck the halls? Dash through the snow? Why bother when this season, you can kick back with a mug of mulled wine and let the experts do the work.
At the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad, California you can experience holiday cheer with old traditions such as decorating gingerbread houses and roasting chestnuts, while making new ones like indulging in the spa and joining your kids at Teddy Bear Tea.
