Program launch and purpose
Marriott International announced a new festive programme that will run from Thanksgiving on 26 November 2026 until early January 2027. The rollout covers eleven luxury properties across the Caribbean and Latin America, aiming to blend traditional holiday celebrations with regional customs and outdoor experiences.
Resorts, brands and destinations
The participating locations include the Turks and Caicos Islands, Cayman Islands, US Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Costa Rica and Brazil. Properties operate under the Ritz‑Carlton, Ritz‑Carlton Reserve, St. Regis, Luxury Collection and W Hotels brands, providing a range of upscale settings for the seasonal events.
Key activities and timeline
Each resort will host a schedule of activities such as beachfront entertainment, regional culinary workshops, family‑focused events and exclusive dining experiences. Highlights include a life‑size gingerbread house in Grand Cayman, a private island cook‑out in South Caicos, Mexican posadas in Los Cabos, and a Mayan‑inspired culinary journey in Riviera Maya. The programmes begin with Thanksgiving celebrations on 26 November and conclude with New Year’s events into the first week of January 2027.
Experience‑led luxury focus
The announcement underscores Marriott’s strategy to make the festive period an opportunity for destination discovery. Rather than limiting offerings to standard Christmas dinners and New Year’s parties, the resorts incorporate local traditions, outdoor adventures, cultural workshops and environmental education, reflecting a growing emphasis on experience‑led luxury travel during the holiday season.
