Cancún’s Christmas Spirit Shines with Decorations and Events

Cancún, Mexico — The Christmas spirit is already alive in Cancún with the lighting of the first decorated roundabouts, the progress of the traditional “Burrito Sabanero,” and the installation of the Christmas tree in Plaza de la Reforma. The municipal esplanade and various points in the city have begun to transform with lights, figures, and thematic decorations that mark the start of the festive season.

Illuminated Roundabouts Kick Off Cancún’s Christmas Season

As every year, the Benito Juárez City Council installed the corridor and Christmas village at the Municipal Palace, while 13 roundabouts located in high-traffic areas will be progressively illuminated during the first week of December.

Among the first decorations lit since this Tuesday are:

• Parque del Crucero
• Monumento a la Madre
• Puerto Cancún
• Kilómetro Cero
• Glorieta del Ceviche

Municipal President Ana Paty Peralta recalled that these installations have become a tradition awaited by Cancún families since 2022.

“Our roundabouts have been a great success since the beginning of my administration. Today, girls and boys await them, and many companies have joined to adopt and decorate a roundabout. The response has been extraordinary,” she said.

Christmas Village in Tajamar and Activities for the Whole Family

In addition to the decorations in the city’s first square, the City Council confirmed that the Christmas Village at Malecón Tajamar will reopen from December 6 to January 5. The space will feature:

• Family activities
• Shows
• The traditional ecological ice rink, whose setup will begin after the international Socca event
