There’s no better place to enjoy the magic of the season than this magical destination, the desert’s original hideaway where Frank Capra wrote the holiday movie classic A Wonderful Life. For over 90 years, twinkling lights, glowing fireplaces and warm memories have been traditions here, along with special menus and holiday programming. We invite you to discover why so many families celebrate this wonderful time of year here at La Quinta Resort & Club.
