❄️ White Christmas on Mt. Diablo (A-List Experience #1)
It started as a rumor — “They’re running a bus up Mt. Diablo in December.” Nobody believed it. Snow? Cocoa? Music on top of the mountain? But the CCL A-List made it happen.
When Mikhail and Anya climbed aboard the bus from the shopping center in front of Rocco’s Pizza pickup point, she whispered, “It feels like we are going to North Pole, only with better shoes.”
The chartered coach rumbled upward, strings of holiday lights glowing along the windows. Someone passed around peppermint cocoa, and a volunteer in an elf hat collected toys for the local drive. The mood was pure small-town magic on a big-sky night.
Halfway up, the clouds opened — white dust sparkling under the headlights. At the summit, the bus doors swung open to a scene nobody could’ve done on their own: a pop-up winter village, tables wrapped in twinkle lights, a jazz trio sliding into “Jingle Bells,” and a makeshift “Santa’s Little Workshop” tent with local artisans selling everything from handmade ornaments to bourbon-spiced truffles.
Anya tugged her scarf tighter. “We should dance before the hot chocolate freezes.” Mikhail bowed. “If we fall, we roll together, da?” People laughed, clinked mugs, snapped photos against a glowing Diablo sign dusted in snow foam. Someone started a conga line. Someone else proposed. Nobody wanted to leave.
When the bus finally rolled back down the hill, everyone was rosy-cheeked, cocoa-stained, and promising to do it again next year.
This wasn’t a concert. It wasn’t a tour. It was a Contra Costa moment you could never buy off Eventbrite.
And here’s the best part — you don’t have to decide now. You just put down $10 to join the A-List, locking your place at the front of the line for this and every other exclusive local adventure we’re planning. If you don’t like the offer when you see it, just pass and choose another A-List event. If you don’t like any of them, we hand you your ten bucks back with a smile. No risk. All reward. That’s how the A-List rolls.
