- Tropical Decor: Use palm leaves, seashells, and tropical flowers for your decor. Consider a Christmas tree adorned with seashell ornaments and twinkling lights.
- Luau Party: Embrace the Hawaiian spirit with a luau-themed Christmas party. Think leis, tiki torches, and traditional Hawaiian music.
- Water Activities: Take advantage of the warm weather and Florida Christmas boat parade by planning water-based activities paddleboarding while watching the beautifully decorated boats float by… or even a Christmas day swim in the ocean. A couple of the things I love most about Christmas in Florida.
