Tropical Christmas: how to enjoy the holidays under the sun of the Canary Islands

tropical Christmas: how to enjoy the festivities under the sun of the Canary Islands

When we think of Christmas, we usually imagine cold, coats and fireplaces. However, in the Canary Islands, the festivities are experienced in a very different way. Tenerife offers a bright, relaxed and outdoor Christmas, where the sun, the sea and local traditions create a unique experience.

Staying at Las Casas Tenerife allows you to celebrate these dates with total freedom, privacy and comfort, enjoying a different Christmas without giving up the festive spirit.

A climate that changes the way we celebrate

During December, Tenerife maintains mild temperatures ranging from 22 to 25 degrees. This completely transforms the way Christmas is lived. Here it is usual:

• To eat outdoors on terraces or in gardens

• To stroll along the beach on Christmas Day

• To enjoy the sun even on Christmas Eve

• To combine Christmas decorations with tropical landscapes

This mix makes Christmas a relaxed experience, ideal for those looking to escape the cold and stress.

Christmas traditions with a Canarian flavor

Although the climate is different, the traditions are still very present. In Tenerife, Christmas combines local customs with family celebrations:

Christmas Eve and Christmas

Families gather to share dinners where local products such as fresh fish, wrinkled potatoes, Canarian cheeses, traditional sweets and volcanic wines are not lacking. It is a more relaxed celebration that lasts longer in quiet after-dinner conversations.

Nativity scenes and markets

During December, many municipalities set up artisan nativity scenes and live nativity scenes. Christmas markets also appear with local products, crafts, and typical gastronomy, especially in Santa Cruz and La Laguna.

Music and folklore

Concerts, Canarian carols and performances by folklore groups are part of the festive atmosphere, both in towns and cities.

Plans for a different Christmas in Tenerife

Spending the holidays in Tenerife allows you to combine celebration and relaxation. Some ideal plans for these dates are:

• A walk on peaceful beaches such as Las Teresitas or Abama

• Gentle excursions to Teide National Park

• Visits to charming villages decorated for Christmas

• Stargazing on clear nights

• Special meals at restaurants or in your own villa

All at a leisurely pace and without crowds.
