December is one of the best times to visit the Riviera Maya, especially if you enjoy pleasant weather, a festive atmosphere and cultural events. Days are typically sunny and comfortable, with temperatures of around 25–29°C (77–84°F). December is near the end of rainy season, so rainfall is usually considerably lower. The Caribbean sea is warm enough for swimming and snorkeling, and mosquitoes are far less troublesome than during the wetter summer months.

Christmas is a joyous celebration in the region. In Playa del Carmen, there is a lively Christmas atmosphere with decorations, lights and shopping.
