CHRISTMAS IN PUERTO RICO

Christmas is a marathon holiday in Puerto Rico, instead of just one day, Christmas festivities in Puerto Rico extend several weeks and are filled with family activities, religious ceremonies, parades, and parties. Starting right after Thanksgiving (sometimes before), and up to a few weeks after Los Reyes Magos, when the Fiestas de San Sebastián end. Because of this, Puerto Ricans like to say that they have the longest holidays on Earth. The Condado Vanderbilt exudes excitement and festive cheer, which can be found throughout our luxury hotel in Puerto Rico.
