"One of Big Bear’s biggest hotel openings in 2025 was Hotel Marina Riviera. The vacation destination has some holiday events on the calendar, including a collaboration between Casetta Hotel and MacKenzie-Childs. They built heated igloos and redesigned the lobby, patio, and styled a handful of cabins. The De La Nonna crew, who opened their Big Bear location in June, will also prepare heated cider until January 31, 2026. Igloos are open to both guests and the public; book one via Resy." - Mona Holmes
