Are you planning a family vacation to Nantucket this December? There’s no better time to explore the island’s winter charm than during the Christmas season. At Affordable Rentals, we help visitors find the perfect Jeep rental to help them navigate the island and have a fun and adventurous holiday. Here are festive Nantucket activities you and your family can enjoy this Christmas.
Kick off the holiday season with Nantucket’s Annual Tree Lighting on November 29th. This beloved tradition is the day after Thanksgiving, transforming over 150 trees into a dazzling display of twinkling lights. Main Street will be closed that afternoon, making it an ideal time to wander the streets of Nantucket with your family.
Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Nantucket's famous Christmas Stroll from December 6th to the 8th. This weekend-long event features an array of holiday activities. Don't miss the much-anticipated arrival of Santa Claus, who appears by boat at noon on Saturday.
During the Stroll, you can also enjoy the sights and sounds of roaming carolers dressed in Victorian costumes, visit the Magical Talking Tree, and explore various craft shows. Be sure to check out the European-style Christmas Marketplace too.
From December 6th through the 31st, visit the Nantucket Historical Association's Festival of Trees at the Whaling Museum. This annual event showcases beautifully decorated trees created by community members, local businesses, nonprofits, artists, and children. The festival supports the Nantucket Historical Association's educational and preservation efforts. It's an excellent stop for people of all ages.
Beyond these signature events, Nantucket offers plenty of other festive fun. Take a ride in a Jeep rental around the island to admire the charmingly decorated homes and shops. Visit local eateries for special holiday menus or cozy up by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa. You'll always find something to do here.
