Palm trees and Christmas lights, white sands and Christmas presents, blue waters and Santa Claus—proving that Christmas doesn’t have to be cold and miserable is as easy as planning to spend your Noel on Maui in one of our Maui Life Realty holiday hideaways! Magic is even easier to find in paradise, and as you and your family explore all the joy that Christmas on Maui can bring into your hearts, you can rest easy knowing that you will be able to rest easy in our comfortable and luxurious vacation escapes after each new adventure. This guide will show you the magic that can be found in the holiday events on Maui and the happenings you can experience when you choose Christmas 2024 for your escape to Hawaii!
Kahului Christmas Market, December 1 Through December 24, Queen Kaahumanu Shopping Center in Kahului
The problem with traditional Christmas markets is you only get one chance to explore their aisles, and if you aren’t on Maui during that one day or weekend, you will forever miss out on their treasures. The Kahului Christmas Market, however, is ongoing throughout December and provides a bountiful selection of gifts, local foods, and art as well as also featuring holiday themed activities your children will adore!
Maui Gift & Craft Fair, Every Sunday, 305 Keawe Street in Lahaina
This next market, the Maui Gift & Craft Fair, is actually open year round, and if you have visited the island before, chances are you have wandered through the aisles of this open air market, purchasing gifts that make people happy. At Christmas, the theme turns to the holidays, and the baked goods may be Christmas cookies or gingerbread, colorful lights may be decorating each booth, but the gifts will still be as amazing as the ones you explored last summer and are destined to bring joy to the recipient.
Pukalani Christmas Fair Electric Light Golf Cart Parade, December 7, 360 Pukalani Street in Pukalani
When we travel, we tend to stay close to our vacation homes, especially when the ones we have chosen are as nice as our Maui Life Realty ones, but this year, we want you to get a feel of the island, exploring the small towns that all add magic to your experience, and the Pukalani Christmas Fair Electric Light Golf Cart Parade brings another beautiful example. Held on December 7, it is still far enough away from the big day that you won’t feel as if you have put off your Christmas shopping until the last minute, and when the whimsy of the lighted golf carts begins, we can assure you that the holiday spirit will be strong and festive. Rumor has it that Santa’s elves may have modified one of his golf carts to resemble his main mode of transportation and that he will be taking a break from toy making and cookie eating to take part in this fun event!
Christmas Luau
A Hawaiian luau is a tradition that you don’t want to miss, and that even extends to the ones offered at Christmas. Featuring the traditional elements, including fire dancers, authentic cuisine, and the hula, during the holidays, some Christmas extras may even make their way in the standard program. Offering the traditional lei greeting and an open bar in most cases, plus your choice between table seating or the more traditional mat seating, it is wise to make your reservations a little further in advance, as Christmas on Maui is a popular activity, and everyone wants to do a luau when they are here. And don’t worry about choosing a particular luau to attend; you can’t go wrong with any of the local luaus, but one of the oldest, the Old Lahaina Luau, has always been one of our favorites.
The Magic of Maui Life Realty
Your favorite and most magical memories may be the ones you enjoy at home in your Maui Life Realty holiday hideaway, offering all the elements you need to create a Christmas experience you will never forget.
