Christmas in Vanuatu

Vanuatu is a popular holiday destination all year round, especially during the Christmas break when people have a chance to relax after the school and work year. It's a great way to escape the chaos of shopping centers and holiday rush. If you're wondering if Christmas is celebrated in Vanuatu, the good news is that it is. The people of Vanuatu follow the Christian calendar and celebrate Christmas, which they call Bonane. They have traditional celebrations, including catching up with friends and family in their villages and performing religious songs in choirs. Unlike countries with a white Christmas, in Vanuatu, Christmas is a tropical affair with beautiful white sandy beaches instead of snow. It's a unique and wonderful way to celebrate Christmas in the South Pacific.

Spend your Christmas in Vanuatu and enjoy fresh seafood, cold meats, salads, and tropical fruit instead of the usual holiday dishes. But if you prefer a traditional European-style lunch with roast meat, gravy, and all the fixings, that's also possible. The beauty of Christmas in Vanuatu is that you can celebrate it however you like. You can keep your family traditions or try something new like a beach picnic. No matter what you choose, you’ll be able to celebrate with your family and friends at your private villa in relaxed, luxurious style!
