If it’s a sun-kissed take on a Christmas adventure you’re looking forward to most this year, heading to Cabo for Christmas with family and friends is always the right choice. When other destinations are battling cold and snow, Los Cabos remains warm and sunny through the end of December, making it a place where you can easily embrace summertime-inspired fun over the holidays! When Christmas travel plans call you this way, make sure the following top holiday activities and attractions in Los Cabos have found their way onto your itinerary.
Admire the Holiday Décor and Markets Across San Jose del Cabo
For many who celebrate Christmas, taking time to head out and admire local lights and holiday décor is an exceptionally fun part of the holiday season. The good news is that when you make your way to Los Cabos for Christmas, it’s an activity you won’t have to leave behind.
Here, places like San Jose del Cabo never fail to impress when it comes to outfitting the downtown plaza with lights, wreaths, holiday décor, and so much more. This time of year, the area often hosts seasonal art exhibits for visitors to browse as well as artisan markets to explore with family and friends. Whether you’re looking for locally distilled tequila, handcrafted textiles, or Talavera pottery to gift yourself and loved ones, you’ll find it within reach.
If you drop by on a Thursday evening, you can participate in a weekly art walk, which typically comes with holiday-themed exhibits during Christmas. It’s also worth your while to check the local event calendar to see if your trip this way might just align with San Jose del Cabo’s annual tree lighting ceremony. It’s an impressive family-friendly experience that’s always memorable.
Feel Free to Build Whale Watching into Your Holiday Plans
Perhaps one of the most unique and inspiring aspects of planning a Christmas getaway to Los Cabos is that your holiday adventure will seamlessly line up with the beginning of whale watching season here. From December through April, humpback whales and gray whales move through the waters surrounding Los Cabos following set migration paths. That makes Christmas the perfect time to book your place on a whale watching tour hosted on board a luxury catamaran or private charter.
Whatever you do, make sure you’re traveling out into open waters with a local naturalist on board. They’ll be able to take you right to the best observation spots around and might even be able to set you up with a hydrophone so you can hear whale songs resounding below the waves.
Settle Comfortably into the Sand This Christmas
When Los Cabos is where you find yourself over Christmas, you can easily swap out snow boots for flip flops and spend quality time settled into the sand. Here, gorgeous stretches of shoreline are waiting to be explored just about everywhere you look. Warm year-round temperatures across Los Cabos mean your holiday away will be filled with sun-soaked afternoons that can include everything from beach hopping to paddleboarding or snorkeling alike.
Experience the Annual Nautical Parade of Lights with Family and Friends
If you’re hoping to enjoy a holiday parade this Christmas in Cabo, you’ll find it’s readily available to attend, just with a unique warm-weather twist in place. Instead of a traditional downtown holiday parade that you might bundle up for year after year, Los Cabos hosts a Nautical Parade of Lights that’s designed to dazzle right from the water.
An impressive number of boats participate in this annual event, which sets out from the marina and makes its way through the waters in illuminated style while spectators watch from shore. If you want to get even closer to the holiday experience, you might consider booking a private yacht for the evening so you can see the glittering boats pass by from your own place on the waves.
