With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
Though it might never quite look or feel like Christmas here in Hawaii, we love embracing the holiday season in our own unique, Hawaiian way. Santa arrives at Waikiki Beach in an outrigger canoe, we wrap our palm trees in twinkling lights, and we do some of our Christmas shopping just steps away from the Pacific Ocean. Whether you’re looking for the perfect Hawaiian keepsake to send to your family on the mainland or want to start an entirely new ornament collection for yourself, you’ll want to visit this Honolulu shop specializing in all things holiday spirit.
Born in the 1980s from an unfulfilled demand for colorful Hawaiian Christmas ornaments to be sold by local stores and tourist-based gift shops, the Waikiki Christmas Store is a one-stop-shop for personalized ornaments and keepsakes.
All ornaments are made to be personalized, and the company personalizes ornaments for resorts, locations, cities, and states for gift shop buyers as well as family names for retail customers.
The Hawaiian Islands celebrate the holidays a little differently than the rest of America and that’s easily apparent in the ornaments sold at the Waikiki Christmas Store. Instead of Santa riding in a sleigh pulled by reindeer, you might find him in a canoe.
From hula girls, palm trees, pineapples, hibiscus flowers, and slippers to more traditional Christmas items like stockings, Santa, and reindeer, no matter what your style, you’ll find it here.
So, what are you waiting for? Whether you're buying ornaments for yourself or as gifts, let the friendly staff at the Waikiki Christmas Store help you out.
Though the main location is found on the Waikiki Beach Walk, you’ll find locations across the island, in Kahala Mall, Pearlridge Center, the Pearl Harbor NEX, the Waikiki Beach Marriot Resort and Spa, and the Moana Surfrider Hotel during the holiday season. They also have a location in Lahaina! For more information, or to check out their locations and hours, head on over to the Waikiki Christmas Store website. Mele Kalikimaka, everyone!
