Once upon a time, Christmas offered a day of quiet joy. We would gather around the table with our family, enjoying a simple feast, and although there would be presents and music, conversation, and laughter, the serenity we experienced would hold us through another year of stress and chaos. Today, however, traffic jams, too loud music, and stores that start hawking their holiday wares before the sun has set on summer has many families looking for alternate ways of celebrating, and for many, their favorite way is with a white sand Christmas in Rocky Point, and a stay in our FMI Rentals. This guide to Christmas dinner in Rocky Point, whether you choose to dine out, order take-out, or prepare a feast at home with us will help you get started on your holiday plans, making your Christmas dreams come true!
Let Someone Else Do the Work
There’s no doubt about it: Creating a Christmas feast is a lot of work! If this is the year that you choose to let someone else do the work, we say go for it. Mexico is a traditional country, and although most restaurants will be closed on the big day, there are a few that we have listed below that will be happy to prepare, serve, and clear away your holiday feast!
Bakal at Vidanta Puerto Penasco, Km. 24, Sonoyta
Offering an international menu, the quiet elegance of this charming restaurant offers somewhat of a different vibe than most Rocky Point establishments, while still providing a classic south of the border feel. Open for Christmas and offering a moderately priced menu, dining here will be a gift that the family cook so richly deserves and will never forget.
Mare Blu Ristorante, Camino a la Cholla km3.7, Playa Arenos
Oh, don’t get us wrong, we love a hearty Mexican dinner, it is the food of our people, but Italian food has always been considered the international symbol of love and dining at Mare Blu Ristorante on Christmas Day will show your family just how much you love them. This special occasion restaurant will elevate your Christmas meal, offering a menu filled with classic Italian favorites and a seafood selection that is fresh, sweet, and tasty. The views will speak to your heart, ensuring that you will return again and again, not just on Christmas Day!
The Best of Both Worlds for Christmas Dinner in Rocky Point
The list of amenities offered in our FMI Rentals is long, and you may not want to go anywhere on Christmas Day, preferring to stay in and explore all the comforts and fun found at home. But for those who are still wholeheartedly against preparing a Christmas feast, there’s no need to subsist on turkey sandwiches or canned soup. Instead, with a little pre-planning, you can enjoy a feast fit for a king while only needing to heat it up in your fully equipped kitchen. Sam’s Club is in Rocky Point, located at Blvd. Benito Juárez García S/N, Lagos y Ríos, and they are offering fully prepared meals, turkey, or ham and all the trimmings, including the pumpkin pie you cannot live without. Simply follow the reheating instructions and your whole house will be filled with the familiar aromas that signify a holiday meal, and while it is heating, you can spend your downtime watching the sea do its magical ebb and flow thing from the patio of our seaside rentals (You did want a white sand Christmas, after all!), play with the gifts you received earlier in the morning, and sip margaritas, knowing that it is 5 o’clock somewhere. And when the feast is devoured, guests can simply toss the containers that held all the deliciousness in the trash, only needing to wash up whatever you served it with and the plates, glasses, and silverware that you would have had to wash anyway!
Homemade with Love
Every traveler is different, and for everyone who finds the thought of cooking on Christmas abhorrent, there are two more who can’t imagine a holiday not spent puttering around the kitchen, creating the meals their families love. For those hardy souls, our fully equipped kitchens are equipped with modern appliances (including dishwashers for easy clean up) and all the dishes, glasses, pots, and pans needed to make your homemade holiday feast. Stream Christmas music to accompany your hard work, singing along to the songs you know by heart as you make magic in a pan. Christmas was once a simple holiday enjoyed mostly for the company of the people with which we shared it, and when you take your holiday on the road to Rocky Point, it can be once again. Reserve your favorite holiday hideaway today and have yourself a merry little Christmas you will never forget!
