A Memorable Christmas in Utah: Snow, Food, and Family Fun

Our Christmas in Utah was filled with adventure, great food, and quality time with family. We kicked off the fun with tubing at Soldier Hollow, racing down snowy hills with stunning mountain views. Tennis matches at Cottonwood Tennis Club and Park City Rec Center kept us active, while incredible meals at Hires, Red Iguana, Aker, Top Pot, and Rubi’s satisfied every craving. We also cheered on the Utah Utes women’s basketball team and enjoyed drinks at Asher Adams. But the best part? Spending time with family in Sugarhouse, Holladay, and beyond—making memories that will last a lifetime.

This past Christmas, we spent an unforgettable time in Utah, enjoying everything from winter adventures to incredible food and quality time with family. From the snowy hills of Soldier Hollow to the vibrant food scene in Salt Lake City, every moment was filled with fun, laughter, and a bit of holiday magic.

Snowy Thrills at Soldier Hollow

One of the highlights of our trip was tubing at Soldier Hollow, where we raced down the snowy slopes and embraced the thrill of winter. With stunning mountain views and perfectly groomed lanes, it was the ultimate way to enjoy the fresh Utah air and get into the holiday spirit.

Tennis and Staying Active

Despite the holiday indulgences, we stayed active by playing tennis at both the Cottonwood Tennis Club and the Park City Rec Center. The combination of indoor courts and crisp mountain air made for some great matches and even better memories.

A Foodie’s Holiday Dream

Utah’s food scene did not disappoint! We revisited some of our favorite spots and tried some new ones:

  • Hires Big H – Classic burgers, fries, and that signature fry sauce—always a must when in Salt Lake.
  • Red Iguana – The mole is legendary, and this visit was no exception.
  • Aker Restaurant – A fantastic dinner experience with incredible flavors and a cozy atmosphere.
  • Top Pot – Enjoying hot pot on a cold winter night was both delicious and comforting.
  • Rubi’s Peruvian Restaurant – A hidden gem where we savored authentic Peruvian dishes.
  • Asher Adams – The perfect spot for drinks and winding down after busy days of exploring.

Cheering on the Utah Utes

We caught a University of Utah women’s basketball game, soaking in the energy and excitement of the crowd. It was great to see the team in action and experience the passion of Utah sports fans.

Family Time in Sugarhouse & Holladay

The best part of the trip, of course, was spending time with family. Whether it was hanging out in Sugarhouse, Holladay, or other areas in Salt Lake, sharing meals, exchanging gifts, or simply enjoying each other’s company, it was a holiday to remember.

Looking Forward to the Next Trip

As we wrapped up our time in Utah, we left with full hearts (and full stomachs!). Between the winter fun, amazing food, and quality family time, it was the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season.

Until next time, Utah!
