Papai Noel on the Beach
π About This Tradition
Since Christmas falls during Brazil's summer, celebrations often happen on the beach! Papai Noel (Brazilian Santa) sometimes arrives by helicopter or boat. Despite the heat, Brazilians still embrace winter-themed decorations. Beach barbecues, tropical fruits, and swimming replace traditional cold-weather festivities.
