San Francisco natives know that the closest thing the city gets to snow, sleet, or anything of the sort during the holidays is Union Square's perilously crowded ice rink. You can either hightail it out of town—to Lake Tahoe or Big Bear, for instance—for a taste of the real thing, or you can fake it with the "Snow Day" package being offered by the Galleria Park Hotel. Its perks are a far cry from being caught in a bonafide flurry, but when you're a coastal Californian or holiday visitor, faux is the best you can hope for.

The Galleria Park is located in Union Square, whose holiday decorations are really impressive, despite their kitsch: a fully tinsel and wreath-beckdecked MACY*S, a gigantic Christmas tree in the main plaza, and even more lights than usual. What the package offers in addition to being squarely in the middle of these surroundings are complimentary valet parking, which usually runs for $35 per night, two tickets and skate rental to said ice rink, and two cups of Valrhona (a.k.a. the way high-end version of Swiss Miss) hot chocolate upon returning to the hotel at midi.

The deal is available from November 11th through January 18th, and the starting rate for rooms is $139 per night. The package as outlined on the hotel's website says it's for a one-night stay, and we easily found open dates in early December for a Deluxe Double Room with free WiFi. This might make the deal more suited for Californians looking for a quick weekend getaway rather than those traveling from out-of-state, especially if snowfall is taken for granted in your region of the country. Us California natives will take what we can get, and if hot chocolate plays a role, all the better.
