If you have ever stared at the rotating ornament display rack then you know just how hard it can be to pick the right one. Here is my list of the best Hawaiian Christmas ornaments that will hopefully adorn your Christmas tree this year.
When I travel I always try to grab a Christmas ornament as a special memento for that trip. I don’t remember when this became a thing for me but I do remember hanging various ornaments on my Christmas tree when I was younger. Each ornament was a memory of a fun and exciting time from the past.
Now I hang ornaments on my tree with my family and enjoy the same memories, even if just for a moment.
Speaking of Christmas trees…here are some great ones from the hotels in Waikiki, my favorites are The Royal Hawaiian, Hyatt Regency, and Outrigger Reef Hotel.

Slippers, thongs, flip flops, all the same? Maybe. One thing I love about living in Hawaii is you can wear slippers everywhere except the most formal of occasions. A candy cane striped slipper ornament will remind you of the laid back style here and hopefully ease your worries.
Santa Longboard Hawaiian Christmas Ornament
As a child, I remember Santa coming into Kualoa Beach Park on an outrigger canoe, quite different than down a chimney. Santa in surf shorts and the longboard is something unique to the islands. This is one of my favorite Hawaiian Santa ornaments because it just reminds me of all the surfing Santas I have seen in my life.

Hawaii isn’t one of the places you think of when dreaming about snow-covered villages and drinking hot cocoa by the fire. But yet, it is one of the busiest times of year for visitors coming to Hawaii. Maybe it’s the escape from the cold weather or the natural beauty that draws visitors from around the world. No matter the reason, a unique memory is yours for the making.
