We are one week away from one of the most loved, wonderful time of the year!
\nIt can also be a bit of a stressful time!\u00a0 For this reason many people will escape the logistics of the holidays and head down to spend Christmas in Playa del Carmen!<\/p>\n

The newspapers reported a 98% occupancy rate in the Riviera Maya<\/a> starting December 20th<\/sup> which means an extraordinary amount of Americans and Canadians will be decking the halls down south this Christmas.<\/p>\n

Take Christmas with you wherever you go!<\/h2>\n

Although a vacation seems lovely we still crave that holiday feeling!\u00a0 So where do you find it?\u00a0 Well, where do you truly find anything?\u00a0 In your heart!\u00a0 You can bring Christmas anywhere you go!<\/p>\n

Being away from home doesn\u2019t have to mean you give up the holidays all together!\u00a0 You can still make a special Christmas in Playa del Carmen!<\/p>\n

If you are living in Playa del Carmen<\/a> or are renting a vacation home, decorating is made completely easy!\u00a0 Most retail and grocery stores are selling all kind of Christmas d\u00e9cor, lights, wreaths, trees, poinsettias; everything you need to create your home into a winter wonderland!<\/p>\n

Yes you can<\/em> find real Christmas trees in Playa!<\/h2>\n

Contrary to what one may think, real Christmas trees can be found in Playa!\u00a0 Most major grocery stores like Mega or Walmart as well as other major shopping centers like Sams Club do have fresh smelling pine trees for sale!\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to miss out on that Christmassy smell just because you are in in Caribbean!<\/p>\n

What I love about Christmas in Playa del Carmen is that I get to enjoy the beautiful Playa summer weather outdoors but when I step inside my home, I get that warm Christmas feeling just the way I would back in Indiana!\u00a0 You still get the feeling to bundle up, snuggle in with your family and drink hot chocolate!<\/p>\n

Christmas all around town<\/h2>\n

If you get the chance to walk around town you will find the Christmas spirit nearly everywhere; lit up trees and lights shining, bringing all the charm and feeling of Christmas into your heart!<\/p>\n

Eat Drink and Be Merry in Playa del Carmen<\/h2>\n

If you are traveling and aren\u2019t willing to cook on Christmas you will not have to sacrifice a delicious and traditional Christmas dinner.\u00a0 Many restaurants, on and off the 5th<\/sup> Avenue, will have special Christmas dinner menus and are completely willing to help to make your Christmas in Playa a special one!<\/p>\n

You can even order an entire Christmas feast to be cooked, prepared and delivered to your home eliminating all the mess. Check the local grocery stores, department stores like Sanbourns, and local restaurants and bakeries for their special Christmas dinner packages!<\/p>\n

Are you that last minute shopper?<\/h2>\n

We are all guilty of it!\u00a0 We have an entire 364 days before Christmas yet, that large population of us will<\/em> wait until December 23rd<\/sup> and 24th<\/sup> to search for last minute gifts!\u00a0 If you are in Playa del Carmen for the holiday season, you couldn\u2019t be in a better place to have this problem!<\/p>\n

Playa del Carmen is filled with all kinds of shopping options to meet your every need. You can find clothing, accessories, sportswear, shoe stores, electronics, books, games, etc.!<\/p>\n

The Quinta Alegria mall has opened up quite a few new selections for shopping lovers right on 5th<\/sup> ave.\u00a0 You can also check out Liverpool on highway 307 for or Sears located in Plaza Las Americas!<\/p>\n

I wish everyone a fun, enjoyable and relaxing Christmas season this year in Playa del Carmen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
