Christmas in Lanzarote 2024: events and things to do in Lanzarote during the holiday season

You are almost guaranteed to have a sunny and warm Christmas if you decide to spend the holidays here.

In 2021, the maximum temperature was 21°C on Christmas Day, so no matter what you do, a visit to the beach is a must on Christmas day if it's that warm and sunny. Weather in Lanzarote in December is still warm and pleasant during the daytime, but you will most likely need a coat or a cardigan in the evenings.

At this time of year, there are plenty of events going on all over the island, so we made a list of suggestions of things to do in Lanzarote this Christmas.

Christmas in Puerto del Carmen & Tias 2024

One of the most expected events of the Christmas celebrations in Puerto del Carmen is the Santa Parade, which is considered some sort of a tradition, although we don't know if it will be organized this year.

What to do for Christmas dinner in Lanzarote?

In the Spanish culture, Christmas Day is usually spent at home with the family, so most Spaniards don't go out to dine on this day.

Most of the restaurants will have a special Christmas menu, usually with British or Irish traditional dishes.

Christmas is considered the high season in Lanzarote, so the best restaurants will be fully booked months in advance. This is also the case for New Year's Eve in Lanzarote, so make sure to book if you have your eye on a certain place.
