Lifestyle icon brings her beloved design sensibilities and personal holiday decor to Southern California’s premier entertainment destination, with a tree lighting spectacular and Legends Dinner honoring Stewart on November 18
HIGHLAND, Calif., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lifestyle icon Martha Stewart is bringing her signature holiday style and personal design aesthetic to Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel through Martha’s Forest of Wonder, a resort-wide immersive holiday experience debuting November 18. Designed in collaboration with Stewart and featuring décor inspired pieces from her personal collection, the experience culminates in a special tree lighting ceremony and an exclusive Legends Dinner featuring Stewart as guest of honor.
The celebration begins with a special invite-only tree lighting ceremony, with complimentary holiday treats available to Club Serrano members while supplies last. The evening will then feature a ticketed Legends Dinner, where Stewart will engage in an intimate conversation moderated by late-night television icon Jay Leno. Exclusive to Yaamava’, Legends Dinner offers guests the rare opportunity to connect with sports and entertainment icons through curated prix fixe dining experiences and intimate, interactive discussions. The evening with Stewart will feature a menu she personally curated, paired with the kind of storytelling and hospitality expertise that has defined her decades-long career.
“The holidays are a time for gathering, creating meaningful memories, and celebrating traditions both old and new,” said Kenji Hall, General Manager of Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel. “Partnering with Martha Stewart allows us to bring a truly one-of-a-kind experience to our guests, filled with beauty, wonder, and the spirit of the season in a way only Yaamava’ can.”
Designed in collaboration with Stewart and showcasing pieces inspired by her personal holiday decor collection, Martha’s Forest of Wonder will transform Yaamava’ into a sparkling woodland retreat, immersing guests in a curated color palette of brass, cranberry, forest green, pearl white, sage green and snow. The installation spans the entire property and includes signature moments such as The Great Woodland Wreath, an oversized ethereal wreath framed by freestanding bears and trees with a dedicated guest photo opportunity; The Mushroom Grove, a glowing, moss-covered woodland scene at the high-limit table games area; Guardians of the Woodland, a pair of sentinel spiraling trees framing the high-limit slots entrance; and Martha’s Sleigh Ride, an enchanted birch forest scene featuring Stewart’s personal sleigh making its way through a winter landscape. Illuminated woodland creatures appear throughout the property, bringing the forest to life for guests of all ages.
“I’m thrilled to partner with Yaamava’ to create a holiday experience that captures the beauty, warmth and wonder of the season,” said Martha Stewart. “From the festive décor to an evening shared with guests, I hope this celebration inspires cherished holiday memories.”
The collaboration brings together Stewart’s signature style and the resort and casino‘s hospitality, creating a holiday experience guests can enjoy across the resort.
The tree lighting ceremony is open to invited guests, with public access to the full experience immediately following. Visit Yaamava.com for more details on Martha’s Forest of Wonder, Legends Dinner tickets and even more holiday celebrations taking place resort-wide.
