The Nickelodeon Family Suites gets into the holiday spirit with plenty of activities for parents and kids to enjoy together.

Families will participate in a traditional holiday craft at the Gingerbread House workshop, watch Holiday Dive-In Movies at the Lagoon Pool and sing favorite classic songs at Holiday Karaoke. No visit to the Nick Hotel during the holidays would be complete without a special reading of The Night Before Christmas with Santa Claus himself.
       

"The Shop, Play and Stay package gives parents a chance to get their holiday shopping done without worrying about the kids being entertained." says Tom Schwinden, director of sales and marketing for the Nick Hotel.
  
 When it comes time to complete holiday shopping, parents can do so guilt-free knowing that the kids will be enjoying the Nick After Dark** experience, which  includes everything from VIP seating at a Studio Nick show, to a hands-on slime experience and a winter-themed workshop of science experiments with a take-home slime souvenir.

After an enjoyable evening of kid-free shopping at the The Mall at Millenia, parents can also indulge in some holiday pampering with a hand massage from Salon Cielo & Spa and a beauty consultation from the experts at Regis Signature Salon. A post-shopping appetizer at P.F. Chang's China Bistro also awaits, and tired shoppers can rejuvenate on the way back to the hotel with a Starbuck's beverage, all included in the package.
