One of The World's Top Christmas Destinations
Some destinations are more unexpected, but upon closer inspection have unique Christmas traditions in ways you might never have considered. It’s further from Santa’s home base and native climate, but Christmas in Puerto Rico gets going early in December, and after the 25th becomes an intense two-week affair filled with food, family and parties. Visitors should expect an offering of coquito, a rum and coconut-based drink that is similar to eggnog, – delicious and dangerous, depending on the family bartender. Stay in Old San Juan and make sure to enjoy the seasonal Puerto Rican holiday food, such as the meat and spice-filled pastries known as pasteles, or pernil, a seasoned, baked pork shoulder that’s on almost every table. Shake off old sledding traditions and visit the surfer’s paradise of Rincon while you’re visiting warmer climes. The festivities don’t stop until January 6, Three Kings Day, where Puerto Rican families get together for one last Christmas party.
Come on down!!!!!!!!!!!
