Holiday in the Caribbean!

Updated: Feb 27, 2020



If the idea of another White Christmas has you feeling down, spending Christmas in the Caribbean could be just the thing to cheer you up! Share the holiday spirit with family and friends on sandy white beaches and clear, warm waters! And jetting off to the Caribbean islands is quick and easy to get to, with most flights from the US only 4 hours or less.


Barbados

Considered the gem of the Caribbean, Barbados welcomes the snow-weary to its endless turquoise waters and powdery white sand beaches. The island is beautifully decorated for the Christmas holiday. Homes, hotels and shops get all decked out for the holiday. Enjoy the festivals and craft fairs and massive feasts! Also, some of the top rated Zagat restaurants are located in Barbados so perfect for foodies.

Anguilla

This island getaway is perfect if you want to avoid the crowds, trade in fir trees for palm trees and white snow for white sand. Anguilla is known for its exclusivity and that exclusivity comes at a price. If money is no object, enjoy Christmas services in old churches of all denominations and lots of singing and dancing.


St. Kitts and Nevis

Not only can you celebrate Christmas in this nation spread among two islands, depending on when you arrive you can also celebrate elements of Carnival and Boxing Day activities. Celebrations get underway in late November and continue till January. Enjoy parades and street parties and tour an organic farm just outside of Basseterre.


Turks and Caicos

Enjoy 12 miles of Christmas lights strung along Grace Bay Beach this Christmas! Turks and Caico is one of the best places on earth to forego blustery winds and freezing temperatures. December and January see 80 degree temps on these islands making it the perfect paradise.


Trinidad and Tobago

Go to Trinidad and Tobago if you’re into all night Christmas festivities. The annual Parang Festival celebrates the season with concerts and parties across this two-island country. The food is amazing and is every foodies paradise!


Cayman Islands

The first thing you’ll notice about Christmas on the Cayman islands is that Santa has given up his red suit and hat for shorts and flip flops. The warm tropical weather makes the change necessary! The decorations are festive and there are many holiday events travelers to the island can enjoy.


St Lucia

The striking Piton mountains (volcano spires) are what you will see as you are first coming in to land at the international airport in St Lucia. Aside from being the top Honeymoon destination in the Caribbean, St Lucia has so much to do for families as well. There is the world’s only drive-in volcano located on the island, as well as hot springs, mud baths, and waterfalls. Also, vibrant street parties are fun and lively for both visitors and locals. St Lucia is a must to add to your holiday bucket list!
