In Brazil, Christmas arrives in the middle of summer, bringing sunshine, joy and special moments outdoors. In Rio de Janeiro, the beaches are part of the celebrations: families gather by the sea, beach kiosks light up, and the famous Christmas Tree at the Lagoa dazzles with its light shows. At this time of year, it’s worth enjoying a walk along Copacabana’s promenade at sunset, admiring the festive decorations and toasting Christmas Eve at La Finestra restaurant at PortoBay Rio de Janeiro, with stunning ocean views — and who knows, even starting the 25th with a refreshing dip in the sea?
In São Paulo, the city gains a unique festive glow. Avenida Paulista is transformed with spectacular decorations, cultural performances and window displays celebrating the Christmas spirit. There is so much to enjoy: from shopping centres with themed attractions and Christmas markets, to concerts and shows spreading throughout theatres and open spaces. And of course, the Christmas dinner at Bistrô L’Hotel makes the occasion even more memorable.
In Búzios, Christmas is filled with the relaxed charm of the Brazilian coast. The illuminated streets of the Orla Bardot create the perfect setting for a festive seaside dinner, while days can be spent on idyllic beaches such as João Fernandes or Geribá. Boat tours, artisanal shops and the welcoming atmosphere of the village make the celebration truly special.
Here, the Christmas spirit blends tradition, warmth and the natural beauty of Brazil’s coastline — an experience that turns the holiday season into something truly unforgettable.
