San Diego Weekend Guide: Dec. 20-22 – Holiday Home Stretch

Crunch time, people. This San Diego weekend, let off some steam in the midst of the holiday rush with Christmas sweaters – need we even insert the word ugly? – and the festive classic The Nutcracker. And how about cowboys too?

There’s such a thing as a Cowboy Christmas? Yep, pardner, in Vista there sure is, with line dancing, barbecue and a “hat bar” to bling up that Stetson – maybe in ugly Christmas sweater style? Head to Main Street in downtown at 5 p.m. Friday.

As for the actual sweaters, make good use of your glue gun then pick a party:

  • PRK 101 in Carlsbad offers sweaters of questionable taste and dancing in their indoor-outdoor complex at 7 p.m. Friday. There will be prizes for ugliest sweater, BBQ-inspired plates, draft beer, handcrafted cocktails and music by Nitro Express Band.
  • Cococabana’s, atop the Brick Hotel in Oceanside, offers rooftop views for its Ugly Christmas Sweater Party at 8 p.m. Saturday. Sip a tropical holiday cocktail and make a wish – there’s a $100 prize for ugliest sweater.
