This holiday season, Hotel Valley Ho is transforming its iconic OH Pool into a nostalgic winter wonderland with the launch of Ho Holidays, a brand-new festive roller rink experience running from November 24 through January 4. Open to hotel guests and AZ residents, this one-of-a-kind activation brings together vintage vibes, seasonal flavors, and family-friendly fun in Old Town Scottsdale.
Blending mid-century charm with holiday cheer, Ho Holidays invites visitors to lace up their skates and glide across a retro roller rink built directly over the hotel’s famous pool. The experience includes festive food and drinks, cozy cabanas, holiday-themed nights, and interactive activities designed to bring the spirit of the season to life.
Highlights include Skatesgiving on November 26, an Ugly Sweater Skate-Off on November 28, and playful themes like Rollin’ with Buddy the Elf, Ho Ho Ho Down, and How the Grinch Stole Skate Night. December brings even more retro revelry with Desert Disco, Back to the 80s, Friday Night Lights, A Very Vintage Christmas on Christmas Eve, and a cozy Jingle + Jammies night on December 26.
Food and beverage offerings include hot cocoa, s’mores, popcorn and cheese fondue, along with a seasonal cocktail menu. Wednesdays and Fridays bring added excitement with theme nights, giving skaters the chance to show off their most festive looks under twinkling lights.
Holiday activations like letters to Santa, cookie decorating, and a photo station offer fun for all ages. Private rink-side cabanas and firepits are available to rent for those seeking a more elevated experience.
With its retro aesthetic and community-friendly programming, Ho Holidays is poised to become Scottsdale’s coolest new holiday tradition. Tickets are free for hotel guests and $25 for locals, which includes full access to the event and skate rentals. All tickets must be purchased in advance through hotelvalleyho.com.
