In Hawaiʻi, we’re decking the halls across the Islands at holiday parades, light shows and pop-up events.
On Oʻahu, you don’t want to miss ’Twas the Light Before Christmas on Ice, a spectacular 56,0000-square-foot wonderland.
Held at the Hawaiʻi Convention Center, ’Twas the Light Before Christmas on Ice, presented by American Savings Bank, is back for its second year. From Dec. 4, 2025, to Jan. 4, 2026, you can stroll through larger-than-life displays, sparkling light tunnels and an immersive room, and snap photos with Santa Claus. New this year, you can lace up your skates to glide across an 8,000-square-foot ice rink.
There’s also a dedicated keiki wonderland featuring a bounce house and holiday movie theater. Along with holiday treats and non-alcoholic drinks, adults can enjoy specialty cocktails.
