Santa Monica Holiday Sweet Treats Food Tour: Donuts, Cheer & More

About this activity

The Santa Monica Donut Tour is your first sweet adventure into sunny Southern California, and the holidays are the perfect time to visit. As palm trees glow with lights and festive decorations fill the 3rd Street Promenade, this tour blends seasonal cheer with coastal charm.

We begin at a California icon, Randy’s Donuts. You may know their famous giant donut from movies and music videos. While the donuts here are smaller, the bold flavors and classic recipes are just as unforgettable.

Next is Sidecar Doughnuts, known for handcrafted creations that feel like gifts with every bite. These gourmet donuts are sure to impress.

Your third stop features another California favorite: churros. Warm, crispy, and coated in sugar, they’re the perfect holiday street snack.

We finish with a surprise stop that may change based on the group and weather, but always ends the tour on a high note. Book now and taste the season in Santa Monica!
