Watch Christmas Movies Set in Hawaii Tonight


Aloha Reader!

Tonight, while you're waiting for Santa (or waiting for your kids to finally fall asleep so YOU can be Santa), can I suggest something fun?

These Christmas movies set in Hawaii →

I put together this list because sometimes you need that tropical escape, even if it's just on your TV. Some are classic Christmas films, some are more family comedies that happen at Christmas, but all of them will make you smile and maybe start planning your next Hawaii trip.

And speaking of bringing Hawaii home – if you're not traveling this year but want to keep the aloha spirit alive: Easy ways to do a Hawaii Christmas at home →

From someone who's experienced Christmas both in Hawaii and dreaming-of-Hawaii-from-home, both can be special. It's all about embracing where you are.

Merry Christmas Eve!

The state just released July numbers, and Hawaii lost more than 1 million visitor days compared to last...

Aloha Reader, There's an update out of Kaʻū worth knowing if Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach Park has been on your Big Island list. As of this weekend, Hawaiʻi County's lease on the park ended after two years of negotiations with landowner Black Sand Beach LLC fell apart. County-managed services there, the parking lot, restrooms, and pavilions, are no longer being maintained. The beach itself and the coastline are still public. Hawaiʻi law protects shoreline access, and there's still a road at the...

Aloha Reader, "I should have done this so much sooner." That's what Katie told me after our one-hour consultation. She's a planner, the kind of person who usually has every tab open and every spreadsheet color-coded. And even she said the call took more stress off her plate in sixty minutes than weeks of her own research had. I get a version of that message almost every time.
