Christmas and New Year holidays in the Caribbean

The Caribbean is a vibrant destination for celebrating Christmas, making it an ideal spot for a holiday getaway during the festive season. With perfect weather at this time of year, you can enjoy both the joyful celebrations and the unforgettable warmth and hospitality that the Caribbean is known for.

Is the Caribbean a good place for a holiday over Christmas and the New Year?

Yes, absolutely. Temperatures consistently stay in the high 20s, and December marks the beginning of the dry season across the entire Caribbean, offering you the best opportunity for sunny, pleasant weather throughout your stay.

Is the Caribbean expensive over Christmas and the New Year?

Yes, it is, but if you're flexible with your dates and destination, there are always opportunities to find more reasonably priced flights and hotels. Since it's both peak season and the festive period, airline prices tend to be at their highest during this time of year. The best value is typically found by booking early, so if you're able to commit to your travel dates, we highly recommend booking as far in advance as possible—ideally more than 12 months ahead.

Will I get to celebrate Christmas on my Caribbean holiday in December?

Yes, absolutely. Christmas in the Caribbean is truly magical. Decorations begin to appear in early December, and throughout the Christmas and New Year period, you'll find special events and gala dinners to enjoy. It's the perfect place for a festive getaway—complete with beautiful weather and the bonus of a lovely sun-kissed tan!
