Celebrate the Magic of Christmas in Colombia with GEH SUITES HOTELS

Christmas in Colombia is much more than lights and presents: it’s a celebration filled with traditions, joy, and family togetherness. Every corner of the country is adorned for this magical season, and at GEH SUITES HOTELS, we invite you to discover the unique experiences our cities have to offer during the holidays. From the historic beauty of Cartagena to the serenity of the Coffee Region, enjoy an unforgettable Christmas in the destinations of our hotel chain in Colombia.

Colombian Christmas Traditions
In Colombia, Christmas is a time full of joy, family unity, and traditions that blend cultural heritage with religious devotion. It all begins on December 7th with the “Día de las Velitas” (Day of the Little Candles), when streets, homes, and plazas are lit with thousands of candles and lanterns, symbolizing hope and faith. This event marks the official start of the Christmas season.

Another deeply rooted tradition is the “Novena de Aguinaldos,” celebrated from December 16th to 24th. For nine nights, families and friends gather around the Nativity scene to pray, sing carols, and share delicious traditional treats like buñuelos, natilla, and hojuelas.

On December 24th, known as “Nochebuena” (Christmas Eve), the most eagerly awaited moment arrives, featuring family dinners filled with traditional dishes like roasted suckling pig, tamales, and coconut rice. Cities and towns come alive with lights, fairs, concerts, and fireworks displays, creating a magical atmosphere that unites communities in a spirit of celebration and generosity.
