Holiday Traditions in Puerto Vallarta
In Puerto Vallarta and around Mexico, posadas are a popular tradition of the holiday season. Posadas are community gatherings that begin around December 16th and last until Christmas Eve on December 24th. The 9 nights of posadas are symbolic of the nine-day journey that Mary and Joseph undertook from Nazareth to Bethlehem.
Holiday posadas are a great time to get together with friends and family enjoying delicious food and drinks such as tamales and ponche. In addition to Posadas, there are religious events that occur during the PV holiday season such as the Festival of Guadalupe which is a 12-day long festival that begins on Dec. 1st that celebrates Our Lady of Guadalupe (Día de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe), the patron saint of Mexico.
During the holidays, Puerto Vallarta’s main square in front of the city’s main church will have street vendors selling delicious authentic foods, souvenirs, handicrafts, and more.
Warm Weather & Water Activities
If you love hitting the beach, you will be pleased to know that the water temperature in Puerto Vallarta during the holidays is really ideal. In terms of water activities, the average water temperature is 78°F during the winter months. As a result, vacationers can swim, kayak, scuba dive, snorkel, surf, paddleboard, and more during the holiday season.
Overall, Puerto Vallarta has an average year-round temperature of 86°F (30°C) so it is warm and sunny all year long. During the evenings the temperature will drop, but usually nothing more than a light sweater is needed to stay warm.
