The end of the year is approaching and before we know it, the Christmas holidays will be upon us. Haven't made any plans yet? Then quickly read our 6 reasons for a wonderful Christmas break on Texel! Are you also coming to enjoy a week, weekend or number of days on the island during the Christmas holidays?
Spend a few days in the Christmas holidays with friends and family. There is enough room for everyone in our holiday homes and villas for 8, 10, 16 or even 20 people. Cosy cooking together in the fully equipped kitchen, good food at the long dining tables, unlimited chatting and, of course, doing fun things! That sounds magical, doesn't it?
Recognisable for many people: It's Christmas holidays and the kids say, "We're bored!". At Holiday Park De Krim, you will find everything for a bit of action. Dive into the heated indoor pool, go down the wild water rapids as fast as you can or challenge each other in the game hall for a game of laser tag or miniature golf. In the second week of the Christmas holidays, there is even a cool assault course in the event hall at the park.
Christmas markets and winter markets are also becoming increasingly popular in the Netherlands. Texel hosts several atmospheric markets during the Christmas holidays. Browse the stalls, enjoy delicious food and drinks, the cosy music and the fire baskets to warm up in the cold weather. The winter fair on 29 and 30 December will be organised at Evenementenhal Texel, so good weather is guaranteed.
When you think of Christmas, besides the cosy lights, the decorated Christmas tree and being together, you also think of good food. Treat yourself to a relaxed and carefree Christmas this year. Don't spend hours in the kitchen, eat out! Book a table in one of our restaurants. From an extensive 4-course dinner to an evening of stone grilling or a pancake buffet. Prefer gourmet dining in your cottage? Then order a complete gourmet package.
On Texel, a visit to the forest, the dunes or the beach is part of the fun, of course! Walking alone a bit boring? Then look for Sommeltjes on the Sommeltjespad. If the children are older, it is fun to make an escapetour across the island or take a challenging trip on the MTB.
During the long, dark evenings, a night out is a good idea! Take part in one of the bingo evenings or test your knowledge during De Krim End-of-year quiz. You are very welcome, even if you are not staying at De Krim Holiday Park.
Christmas is the time of year when time for each other prevails. And what could be more fun than to celebrate this party together on Texel? Book a cozy chalet, a comfortable hotel room or a luxurious family villa. It's time to make memories.
During the Christmas holidays, the picturesque villages of De Waal, Oosterend, Den Burg and Den Hoorn on Texel are completely in the Christmas spirit. Great for shopping and doing your last Christmas shopping! Various atmospheric Christmas markets and other fun Christmas activities are also organised during this period.
