One of the best parts about Hawaii is the year-round mild weather. But when winter comes, the images of snow, skating, and other cold-weather activities might make you feel like you’re missing out on the fun. Fortunately, living in a tropical paradise doesn’t mean you can’t get into the winter spirit. With these ideas, you can get a taste of winter fun in the islands. 

3 Ways to Have Winter Fun in Hawaii

1. Enjoy Winter-Themed Treats

Enjoy your favorite treats in frozen form or give them a winter theme. You might even opt for a frozen version of some mainland winter favorites, like frozen hot chocolate, peppermint ice cream, or peppermint whips. Or bake cookies shaped like snowflakes or snowmen and make snowballs from popcorn. Even if the weather outside isn't frightful, these winter treats are delightful and will help you get in the spirit of the season.

2. Go Ice Skating

You might not be able to glide around a frozen outdoor pond, but you can still lace up your skates in Honolulu. During December, the Hawaii Convention Center will host “Winter Wishes- A Holiday Festival,” which will include a slate of holiday-themed activities along with an indoor skating rink.

Or head to Ice Palace for one of their public skating sessions. Don’t know how to skate? Ice Palace also offers skating lessons for all ages. 

3. Have a Winter Party

Treat family and friends to a snow scene. You and your loved ones can build sculptures, have snowball fights, and make snow angels. The white stuff might only be temporary, but it will give you a taste of winter and the chance to enjoy some traditional cold-weather activities. 

To bring winter to your next party, get in touch with Hawaiian Ice Company in Honolulu for a snow scene. As the leading producer and distributor of high-quality packaged ice in the area, they’ll set up a winter wonderland in your yard. They also provide ice and dry ice that you can use to chill your party food. Call them today at (808) 538-6918 to inquire about snow scenes, or visit their website for more information about their products and services.
