Fun things to do in Dominica at Christmas Time

  • Take a hike out into nature
  • Listen out for the “booms” of “bursting canoo” or Bamboo Canons. A Christmas tradition which dates back for many years.
  • Look to the skies. Venus, otherwise known as the “Evening Star” is seen in the southwestern sky – just after sunset. Throughout the night Jupiter can be seen shining brightly in the southern part of the sky.

Christmas Tastes & Treats


In Dominica, there are some seasonal treats that let you know the holiday season is upon us… one of these is sorrel, a wonderful flower from the hibiscus family.

Steeped with cinnamon, clove and ginger, then sweetened with natural cane syrup, this is a delicious, colouorful and fragarnt beverage that just declares “It’s Christmas Time!”
