Ice at Santa Monica offers 60-minute skating sessions at $22, which includes skate rental. The rink will operate daily, with extended hours in December, providing a fun holiday experience for both residents and visitors. 

In addition to the ice rink, DTSM, Inc. will host the annual Santa Monica Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony on November 21 at the Third Street Promenade. The event will feature live entertainment, holiday arts and crafts, and snowfall, with Santa Claus and city officials lighting the official tree.
