The holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and creating lasting memories with loved ones. Sometimes that means staying close to home; other times it means getting out to explore a new winter destination or visit a familiar favorite.
For those who want to trade snow for sun, Los Cabos is the perfect spot for a carefree yet festive holiday.
Here we highlight five things to do in this coastal paradise that offers a contrast of sunny beaches and cheer, creating a unique, laid-back experience perfect for rest, relaxation, and adventure.
1. Whale Watching: Mid-December through March is peak whale-watching season in Los Cabos, making it a unique activity for the holidays. Keep a look-out and spot migrating whales from the comfort of your Equity Estates balcony or take a guided boat tour to see the majestic marine animals up close.
2. Beachside Resort Celebrations: Enjoy lavish holiday feasts and special events at some of Cabo’s top resorts. The Montage Los Cabos hosts churros & chocolate gatherings, a Christmas Eve dinner, an evening Hanukkah Menorah lighting ceremony, and a Christmas brunch. The Hilton Los Cabos features Santa’s arrival, a Christmas dinner, a New Year’s Eve party on the beach, and more. And the One&Only Palmilla resort offers a kids-only “Christmas at Laponia” experience, a family-style Christmas Eve dinner, brunch with Santa, and a New Year’s Eve party with fireworks.
3. View the Festive Décor in San José del Cabo: Take a leisurely stroll along the narrow streets and sidewalks of downtown San José and explore the shops, restaurants, and colorful holiday decorations in the charming Plaza Mijares.
4. Take in the Cabo San Lucas Nautical Christmas Parade: This beloved annual tradition transforms the town’s bay into a stunning showcase of floating lights, colors, and decorations. Boats of all sizes and shapes glide through the water, filling the air with music and the spectacular sights and sounds of the holidays.
5. Experience Las Posadas: Immerse yourself in the traditional nine-day Mexican festival that commemorates Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem. These celebrations are held throughout Cabo December 16-24 and are filled with candlelight processions, music, food, and community spirit.
