Christmas and New Year holidays in Cancun

In Mexico Christmas is a well celebrated time of year making it a perfect destination to holiday over Christmas or New Year.  The weather is perfect, so you will enjoy the festive celebrations with the unforgettable blend of Latin American and Caribbean hospitality.

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

Yes, without a doubt! With temperatures consistently in the high 20s, and December marking the start of the dry season in Cancun, you’re guaranteed the best chance of sunny, pleasant weather throughout your entire stay.

Is Cancun expensive over Christmas and the New Year?

It is yes, but not as expensive as some other Caribbean locations.  With much better access to flights (especially via the USA), it means the choice and price of flights do not rise as much as some other countries, so delivers better value.  If you are flexible on dates and routings, it does not have to break the bank.

Will I get to celebrate Christmas on my Cancun Holiday in December?

Yes, definitely. All the hotels we recommend in Cancun fully embrace the Christmas spirit, with festive decorations going up in early December. Throughout the holiday season, you'll find special events and gala dinners. It's the perfect place to enjoy a festive getaway, complete with glorious weather and a beautiful sun-kissed tan!
