Christmas in India: What are the Best Things to do?

Christmas is that time of the year when everybody shares the kindred spirit of joy and love. If you are lucky enough to be in India during Christmas, you are surely going to love the season pomp across the nation.

But to enjoy (or witness) the true zest of Christmas, you must visit Darjeeling. The quaint town, revered as one of the most beautiful places in India, enjoys a London-like climate. The winter months get super chilly, especially during the Christmas and New Year Eve.

As the majority of the population in Darjeeling is Christian, Christmas is celebrated with utmost joy.

Spend your Christmas at the Windamere Hotel

Windamere Hotel is one of the finest Colonial hotels in Darjeeling. The hotel further accentuates the festivity of the town with its vintage English charm. The Christmas party at Windamere Hotel cannot be compared with anything else; it has been described as “A Good Old House Party – right out of the old Boarding House days of The Raj.”

The hotel has international artists/entertainers putting audiences in the groove. And as a good party isn’t complete with good food, guests get to enjoy sumptuous continental as well as Indian foods during the party.

Other things to do:

Partying in Goa

Another great way to spend Christmas is to travel to Goa. A hub for backpackers, hippies, honeymooners, and globetrotters, you get to attend awesome parties during Christmas and mingle with tourists.

There’s no specific rule as to where you should be in Goa during Christmas as the whole state celebrates the Eve. An insider tip: consider attending a beach party with friends to have loads of fun!

Attending a midnight mass in Mumbai

Thanking the Almighty and praying for the best for your loved ones is a great way to start your Christmas Eve. It’s great if you attend a midnight mass in one of the several churches in Mumbai.

After you are done attending the mass, you can explore other churches or simply shop gifts for your loved ones. Getting a taste of the popular nightlife in Mumbai is another good option as pubs and clubs have interesting offers during Christmas Eve.
