Christmas Day

Christmas Day in Curaçao moves at an easy pace. Mornings usually start quiet, with families gathering at home or heading to the beach for a swim before things get busy. The island has that relaxed holiday feel restaurants open later in the day, beach clubs fill up slowly, and everyone seems to be on island time.

By afternoon, you’ll notice more people out: groups settling in for long lunches, kids playing in the water, and visitors wandering through town to see the lights. It’s warm, laid-back, and very Curaçao the kind of Christmas where flip-flops and ocean views replace sweaters and fireplaces.
