The Dickens Christmas Show spreads four daily windows across four days in Myrtle Beach. The windows decide how many nights a room is worth, and the hotel panel on the event page prints one oceanfront rate to work from.
Four days, thirty-five hall hours
The 45th Annual Dickens Christmas Show and Festivals runs Nov 12 through 15, 2026 at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, 2101 N. Oak St. The calendar lists four daily windows.
Thursday, Nov 12 runs 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Friday the 13th runs 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Saturday the 14th runs 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Sunday the 15th opens at noon and closes at 6:00 PM. That is 35 hours of hall time across four days, and 11 of them fall on the Friday. All dates and times are subject to change.
The floor is 89 dollars, measured in miles
The event page carries a Hotels Nearby panel with a mileage on every property. The nearest entry is Breakers Resort Myrtle Beach at 0.54 miles, and its deal line reads Oceanfront One Bedroom Suites From 89 dollars a night. Six properties sit inside 0.71 miles: Breakers at 0.54, Camelot by the Sea at 0.55, Dayton House Resort at 0.57, The Strand at 0.64, Roxanne Towers at 0.65 and Anderson Ocean Club and Spa at 0.71.
Breakers and Caribbean Resort and Villas are the two entries on the panel with a printed rate. The other four carry a description and a distance.
Four nights, and what the fourth one buys
A Thursday arrival and a Monday departure is four nights at 89 dollars, or 356 dollars before any tax or fee the property adds. The same four nights at Caribbean Resort and Villas, listed at 0.87 miles with One Bedroom Suites from 84 dollars, come to 336 dollars. Five dollars a night is the whole gap on the advertised numbers, and 20 dollars is the gap over the stay.
Three nights, Thursday to Sunday, is 267 dollars and it forfeits the Sunday hall, because the doors do not open until noon. The schedule sets that shape. The fourth night is the price of the last six hours.
What the Friday close does to the arrival
Friday runs to 8:00 PM, two hours later than Thursday and Saturday. A Thursday check-in buys nine hours. A Friday check-in buys eleven.
What fills 100,800 square feet
The Victorian Holiday Marketplace fills the 100,800 square foot exhibit hall with 350-plus period-clad vendors: jewelry, crafts, gifts, toys, art, gourmet foods and holiday decor. Festival displays of trees, tables, wreaths, worlds and stockings go to silent auction, with 100 percent of the funds to the sponsoring non-profit. Strolling Victorian musicians, tea leaf readers, Punch and Judy shows, shadow box displays and a historic Santa exhibit run alongside, and the snow globe challenge and the hunt for the missing presents both sit on the show floor.
Off-site offerings include historical tours and holiday shows at local theaters, which gives a room inside the walkable band a second use.
The figures a counter-offer needs
The listing publishes no admission price. Ask Leisure Time Unlimited at 843-448-9483 for the gate price and any group rate before the room is booked, because a per-person ticket changes what a night is worth.
Then take four numbers to the hotel: 89 dollars advertised for an oceanfront one-bedroom suite at 0.54 miles, 84 dollars for one-bedroom suites at 0.87 miles, a stay that starts Thursday and ends Monday, and 35 hours of hall time inside it.
A property that will not move on the nightly rate can still move the fourth night, the resort fee, the parking charge or the check-in hour on Thursday. Ask which of those it will carry, in writing, on a rate that starts at 89.
The room is the one line with a range
The show itself is four published windows. The room is the line with a spread. Six properties inside three quarters of a mile of the hall compete for the same four nights, and hotelhaggle sends an offer to 50 plus hotels in a destination, with responses in 24 to 72 hours and no commission added to the accepted rate. The platform's seller-of-travel page lists Florida, Hawaii, Iowa and Washington as states it cannot serve, and South Carolina sits outside that list.
Put the 89 dollar Breakers figure into that offer as the ceiling to beat.
