As Christmas and New Year’s Eve approach, Chile transforms into a wonderland of traditions, flavours, and unforgettable experiences.
Christmas Magic
Picture this – twinkling lights, the scent of freshly baked “Pan de Pascua” (a delicious fruitcake), and families gathering for a grand feast. Christmas Eve, or “Noche Buena,” is the heart of the celebration, where your clients can savour dishes like roast turkey, lamb, and seafood, all paired with “Cola de Mono” (a spiced coffee concoction). And just when you think it can’t get any better, “Viejito Pascuero” (Santa Claus) makes his grand entrance, delighting both children and adults!
New Year’s Eve Extravaganza
Chileans know how to ring in the New Year with style! Your clients can join the locals for lively “asados” (barbecues) under the stars and partake in quirky traditions like eating lentils and grapes for good luck. At midnight, the sky lights up with spectacular fireworks, hugs, and cheers.
Essential Tips
Keep in mind that New Year’s Eve is a public holiday, so some businesses might be closed. However, the festive spirit is everywhere!
Must-Do Experiences
Clients can wander through festive Christmas markets, admire elaborate nativity scenes, and soak in the holiday cheer in cities like Santiago and Valparaíso. For a truly magical New Year’s Eve, we recommend heading to Viña del Mar or Santiago for dazzling firework displays and vibrant celebrations.
Insider Recommendations
Make sure you book your clients’ restaurant reservations early, as spots fill up fast during the holidays. And for the best New Year’s Eve experience, why not suggest joining a local beach party or a cosy “asado” with newfound friends.
Chile is ready to welcome your clients with open arms and festive spirit. By embracing the magic of the season, clients can create memories that will last a lifetime!
