Christmas week is still available! The temperatures in Bermuda in December are surprisingly pleasant. Most places all around the Northern Hemisphere tend to be quite cool at this time of year, but because of the gulf stream, Bermuda enjoys relatively warm temperatures that are always appreciated by visitors. As if mild weather, island charm and tasty holiday food and drink aren't enough to lure you to Bermuda, the holiday festivities out here bring about warmth and cheer. The sub-tropical island of Bermuda is a hugely popular destination in December. Jetting off to somewhere sunny and warm allows you to leave the worries of winter behind. Bermuda has a long history as a British colony and because the island has more churches per square mile than anywhere in the world, Christmas is naturally celebrated island-wide. You’ll see festive decorations, shimmering lights, impressive window displays and towering Christmas trees dotted around. Many locals, ex-pats and visitors dressed in festive outfits gather at Elbow Beach in Paget's Parish and Horseshoe Beach every year on Christmas Day. With the sun rising on the horizon, you can take a sip of champagne and plunge into the Atlantic together. The holidays fall at the height of the spiny lobster season, and don't forget to try traditional Cassava Pie! For dessert, you can satisfy your sweet tooth by digging into Rum Eggnog Ice Cream from Alex & Pete's Bermuda Artisan Ice Creamery and Bermuda rum cake with warm mulled wine. On Boxing Day, this British holiday gets a Bermudian twist when Gombey troupes in colourful costumes dance through the streets to the rhythm of snare drums, beer bottle fifes and tin whistles. Finally, ring in the New Year in King’s Square in the Town of St. George. Crowds gather to watch the giant onion drop as the clock strikes midnight.
Once you’ve experienced the holidays in Bermuda, you’ll want to return.
