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.
Handpainted Glass – Turtles & Dolphins
If you were lucky enough to see some turtles or dolphins on your trip to Hawaii then this may be the one to bring back those memories. Comes packaged in a wonderful velvet-covered gift box.
Ukulele Replica Christmas Ornament
The ukulele is originally from Portugal but has become synonymous with Hawaii for as long as I can remember. Detailed and rated 5 stars this is a great way to remember Hawaii each year.
Hawaii License Plate Christmas Ornament
If you can’t get the full-size Hawaii license plate then this ornament may be the next best thing. Hand-painted, Mele Kalikimaka!

Festive Slipper Ornament
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.

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.
