Still on the fence about where to spend Thanksgiving week this year? Consider a visit to Puerto Rico. There are plenty of reasons to make the trip–find out some of our favorites below.

Skip the Stress of Hosting an Event

A menu to plan, a turkey to order, a potluck to coordinate, seating to arrange, and entertainment to consider. These are just some of the stressful issues you have to deal with when planning Thanksgiving Dinner at your place. If you haven’t already etched your seating charts in stone, chances are good that hosting a stress-free holiday at home isn’t in the cards. But that’s okay. Trading in your Turkey Day coordinator (or referee) hat for tickets to the beach sounds like a trade up, doesn’t it?

Watch the Islands Transform for the Holidays

The time between el Día de Acción de Gracias (Thanksgiving Day) and la Navidad (Christmas)–and even all the way through to January 6, el Día de Reyes or Three Kings’ Day–is a magical one across Puerto Rico. And it all begins over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Come get a sneak peek of Christmas in Puerto Rico as the lights begin to go up and transform the islands for the holidays!

Make Christmas Gift-Giving a Breeze

Ease family and friends’ disappointment that you won’t be spending the holiday with them. Promise something special upon your return. It won’t be hard to find unique gifts on your trip for everyone in your life! Why? Because art abounds in Puerto Rico. From old-world cigar rolling techniques to intricate detailing in Mundillo lace, the hands of Puerto Riqueños bring forth some of the most beautiful–and iconic–works of functional art in the world. Besides, spending one of the biggest shopping days of the year searching the cobblestone streets of Puerto Rico for your loved ones’ gifts doesn’t sound half-bad, does it?

Speaking of giving, we have on extra special reason you should consider a last-minute trip to Puerto Rico this year. We want to formally invite you and yours to come celebrate at our pre-holiday dinner table!
