Westfield UTC Introduces New Holiday Concept: Peppermint Beach Club

Westfield UTC’s newest holiday spectacular, Peppermint Beach Club, has arrived at San Diego’s premier outdoor lifestyle destination, November 17. Following a year of toy and gift creation, Santa, Mrs. Claus, and their team of elves are in need of rest and relaxation before the big Christmas Eve drop and there’s no better place for a little R&R than the beach!
