How about having Maui Christmas dinner with a traditional Hawaiian luau? It will be one you won’t ever forget. The luaus bring delicious foods, holiday festivities, and a whole lot of island traditions. You may even want to incorporate some of these Christmas dishes to your future holiday tables. Consider kalua pig, fresh seafood, hearty side dishes, and sweet treats. Your heart and your stomach will be full and happy. Next, you’ll watch hula dancers tell stories through movement, song and dance while knife performers light up the night sky with fire. With so much culture and things to see, it’s no surprise why a Christmas day luau would make our list of top Christmas activities on Maui. It’s simply unforgettable!
See Santa and Mrs. Claus Arrive by Outrigger Canoe
