The holiday countdown begins!  It's only 10 days left till Christmas and 26 days left till we ring in the New Year!  What are you doing for New Year's Eve?  Why not "Shine" at the Holiday Inn Resort, Panama City Beach!  For those of you who have been to the New Year's Eve Party at the Holiday Inn Resort before, you already know we have a great time ringing in the new year – and that we not only celebrate safely by taking the elevator home, we also party with a purpose! 

Last year the Holiday Inn Resort partnered with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for "Twinkle", this year we will be working with the Give Kid's The World Foundation for our upcoming New Year's Eve Party, "Shine". The party will once again take place in the SeaWatch Entertainment Center, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico with 2 floors of entertainment for adults.  This year you'll dance the night away with our own D.J. Jim Lawson – a favorite among guests, and this year we're bringing back Todd Allen Herendeen and the Follow That Dream Band – whom many of our guests know and love!

While the adults flow through 2 floors of party upstairs, the kids will be on the 1st floor of the SeaWatch Entertainment Center at the Holiday Inn Resort in the Kids Activities Center with their own New Year's Eve Party!  Kids will enjoy games, arts-and-crafts, pizza, movies, and more with a party just for them! 

This event will be a great time for everyone – and for a great cause!  With plenty of party package options to choose from, you and your loved ones will have a great time without breaking the bank!  A couple can enjoy a Gulf front room, a romantic dinner, the party – complete with party favors and a champagne toast at midnight, kids' party for 2 children, and breakfast for 2 (kids 12 & under eat free) the next day for only $199 plus tax!  

At the Holiday Inn Resort kids are very important to us, that's why we provide a great party with great purpose.  There will be opportunities throughout the evening to donate to the Give Kid's The World Foundation starting with a portion of the proceeds from your party package, along with opportunities to purchase from a special wine list at dinner, opportunity to have your photo taken and purchase a 5x7 print, donate unused drink tickets, and lots of other ways to help!   

The Holiday Inn Resort hopes that 2012 will be a year that truly shines – and the resort team is hoping that you'll help them to help Give Kid's The World!  To see all the party packages visit the specials section or call our friendly reservations team at 800.633.0266!  Don't forget to ask how you can purchase a New Year's Eve Party Certificate as a Christmas present for someone you love!
