But wanting to find a sparkling expression of the season around the Central Coast? Your sleigh knows which way to go, if you're someone who has long been enamored by the many charming features of Cambria, for that's where the annual Cambria Christmas Market has become an eveningtime must-do for both locals and visiting lovers of the yuletide.

There are a few things to know about this new experience before booking your stay at one of the Moonstone Hotel Properties, so read everything now. So does...
