Holiday packages available from Thomas Cook Signature and ITC Classics
Antigua and Barbuda (October 11, 2005) - For those who dream of escaping the cold this Christmas the Caribbean islands of Antigua and Barbuda offer a variety of tempting packages - and visitors needn’t miss out on their traditional turkey and Christmas pudding dinner.
Antigua and Barbuda offer many of the familiar UK traditions, such as Christmas carollers and homemade Christmas pudding, but with the benefit of an idyllic warm and sunny setting and some attractive Antiguan customs, including barbeques on the beach, live steel band music, and the delicious Caribbean sorrrel fruit drink.
Antigua hosts various Boxing Day fetes, when the whole island emanates a party spirit to celebrate the festive season, and the New Year’s Day costume street parade is a sight not to be missed.
Beautiful Blue Waters, located in the north of Antigua beside two secluded beaches, offers a selection of special events over the festive period. On Christmas Day the manager of Blue Waters hosts a spectacular Christmas dinner for all the guests at the hotel, including succulent turkey with all trimmings, fruity Christmas pudding, and a selection of other dishes for those wanting something a little different. Arriving by boat, Father Christmas himself visits the hotel with a sack full of gifts for the children. On New Years Eve Blue Waters holds its own fireworks display, followed by a black tie gala dinner.
