If you are all set to trade snow for palm trees and sandcastles, then let’s dig into the Hawaiian Christmas adventure.

Hawaiian Christmas Traditions

The exotic Hawaiian islands are far away from the snow-laden environs, and so Hawaiian Christmas traditions are a bit creative.

Here, the only ‘white’ Christmas gathering can be found on a white sand beach.

Instead of decked with snow, here Christmas trees shimmer under the stars and are dolled up with a cascade of Christmas lights.

Hawaiians do not decorate Christmas trees. They decorate palm trees with string ornaments and bright lights.

You won’t find Santa greeting you with ‘Merry Christmas’ on a sleigh; instead, he rides a canoe.

You might also find Santa riding a surfboard right up to a beach. Whoa!

Hawaiians greet you ‘Mele Kalikimaka’, for it’s a bit tough for them to roll ‘Merry Christmas’ off their tongues.

Here, the festive feast is a traditional Christmas food and authentic Hawaiian dishes.

And, locals swap bright Christmas sweaters for fresh flower leis, which makes the whole celebration look more interesting.
