A Holiday Like No Other: Christmas in the Belize Rainforest
If you’ve dreamt of a holiday season surrounded by tropical beauty, warm weather, and extraordinary wildlife, then spending Christmas at Chan Chich Lodge is the perfect gift to yourself (or your loved ones). December is one of the best months to visit Belize — clear skies, cool jungle breezes, active wildlife, and an abundance of festive energy is felt across the country.
At Chan Chich Lodge, you’ll unwrap a holiday escape unlike anything at home: tranquil mornings, thrilling wildlife sightings, and nights filled with stars instead of snow.
Why December at Chan Chich Is So Special
Wonderful Weather for Adventure
December marks the start of Belize’s dry season. Expect crisp, cool mornings ideal for birding, refreshing afternoons for exploring the rainforest, and comfortable evenings perfect for night drives. You can still expect a few showers from time to time, but they are usually short and sweet.
A Peaceful Alternative to Busy Holiday Destinations
Forget crowded beaches and overbooked cities. Chan Chich Lodge offers serenity, privacy, and exclusive access to over 30,000 acres of private, protected rainforest. The lodge is at its busiest during the holidays, but that still means it’s just you and 14 other cabanas with like-minded nature travelers in the entire 30,000-acre private reserve … how’s that for privacy?
Festive Days in the Jungle
It’s a special time for everyone in the Chan Chich community, including our children. Some special moments you can expect each year are:
- Christmas Carols by children from the Casey Community School before they head off to their holiday break.
- A live marimba band during dinner on Christmas Eve
- Our culinary team prepares fresh, organic meals using ingredients from Gallon Jug Estate including holiday-inspired desserts, farm-fresh meals, cocktails and festive treats at the bar
Unique Experiences to enjoy with your family or loved ones while on your festive vacation at The Lodge include:
- Night drives to spot rare wildlife
- Early morning bird walks
- Archaeological walking tours
- Horseback riding through jungle trails
- Farm tours
- Lagoon sunset tours
