Why stick with the status quo when it comes to your holiday traditions? Freezing temperatures? Been there. Cooking the entire holiday meal by yourself? Done that. This year, send your season’s greetings from paradise and take on the holiday season, Bahamian style! Leave your snow shovel at home and get ready to build sandcastles in the sun this winter, celebrating the gorgeous, December weather in the Bahamas. Your perfect winter getaway awaits!
THE WEATHER
While others may be throwing on their matching family pajamas and bundling up for the winter, island life allows you and your loved ones to continue enjoying flip-flops and shorts weather long into the new year. Not only is mid-December filled with holly jolly cheer, but it’s also the Bahama’s peak travel season, due to temperatures reaching near perfection during this time. Trade the snow for white sand beaches this winter!
THE FOOD
Indulge your senses in the comfort food and atmosphere that fill hearts and make the islands glow extra bright during these festive months. Twinkling lights strung about, markets filled with holiday shoppers, and locals preparing traditional Bahamian delicacies all help to create a joyful, unique experience that your family won’t ever forget.
Don’t stress over what to cook this year. Instead, sit back, relax, and stare off into the clear, blue waters while you enjoy a feast that is prepared for you! Head into town and get ready to taste Bahamian culture through specialty conch dishes, flavorful garlic pork, pepper pot, savory black cakes filled with fruit, and delicious ham! Trust us, your tastebuds (and stomach) will thank you.
THE DRINKS
These traditional foods aren’t complete without a great drink to pair with. One seasonal Bahamian favorite that looks and tastes just like the holidays is a traditional, deep-red sorrel drink, made from the hibiscus plant flower featuring notes of cinnamon, spices, and ginger. Other local favorites that will ignite the holiday spirit in you are traditional sweet potato fly, mauby, shandy, wine, ginger beer, and, you guessed it, RUM drinks!
