The Holiday Wish List That Ends With Belize
Celebrate Christmas & New Year’s at Belizean Dreams
This year’s holiday wish list looks a little different:
- Caribbean sunsets instead of crowded malls.
- Chef-prepared meals instead of holiday cooking.
- Snorkeling, island and jungle adventures instead of endless errands.
- Uninterrupted family time instead of a packed to-do list.
Spend Christmas or New Year’s in Hopkins, Belize, with festive meals, holiday events, resort activities, and Belizean adventures already part of your stay. Holiday weeks are available for 2026 and 2027. Availability is limited.

- Christmas Stay“Enjoyed 8 nights over my 50th Birthday and Christmas here at the resort. We travel every year to many different regions during this timeframe and have been to some very nice places. What sets this resort apart from the rest of the resorts are the people who work there. The overall day to day team at BD are serious rock stars in all aspects of this Industry.”
