Let’s be real: if you’re tired of spending Christmas shivering under three layers of wool, here’s your sign to come to Alicante.

Because yes — we’ve got tinsel, carols, Santa’s house, and reindeer vibes…
But also 20°C sunshine, sea breezes, and a city that throws a proper festive party — without the snow (and honestly, who needs it?).

And if you want to live it all like a local, from the very heart of the action?
You guessed it: Apartamentos Tito San Nicolás is your perfect base.

✨ The City That Lights Up — Literally

On November 21st, Alicante flips the switch: 2.6 million LED lights blaze across the streets 15. Avenida de la Constitución, Rambla Méndez Núñez, Explanada de España — they all turn into glowing tunnels of color, shining every night from 7 PM to 1 AM 5.

But the real magic? It happens at Plaza Séneca: home of Santa’s House, open from November 29th to December 24th 1. Kids can meet Santa (book ahead!), whisper their wishes, and walk out with that priceless holiday sparkle in their eyes 10. And yes — it’s completely free.

🎡 Fun for Everyone: From Kids to Night Owls

Families, listen up: the Christmas Fair at Plaza Séneca runs from November 30th to January 7th, with rides, storytelling, and activities that’ll keep the little ones busy and happy 109.

And if you’re more “wine by the sea” than “candy cane parade”, don’t miss the Christmas Tardeos at the Bullring (Plaza de Toros). From December 4th to 31st, Thursdays through Sundays bring live music, DJs, food trucks, and a laid-back party vibe — perfect for a date night or drinks with friends 39.

Another must-see? The Magical Tree of Canalejas: a 13-meter interactive tree that dances with light and sound. Open until January 7th, it’s pure Insta gold.

🛷 The Highlights: Cavalcade & New Year’s Eve

No Christmas in Alicante is complete without the Three Kings Parade (Cabalgata de Reyes) on January 5th. The Kings arrive by boat at the port at 7 PM, then ride through town tossing sweets and spreading joy along the way 19. Pure magic.

And if you stick around to ring in the New Year? The New Year’s Eve Party on Rambla Méndez Núñez has everything: the traditional 12 grapes, a photo booth, live music, and dancing until 4 AM 77. No jacket needed. Just good vibes.
