Christmas in Bethlehem 2026

There’s no better place in the world to spend Christmas Eve than in Bethlehem, standing in the same place where Jesus Christ was born. This Christmas, it’s time to make memories that will last a lifetime. In Bethlehem, you will watch Midnight Mass in its center square, Manger Square; take photos in front of the soaring Christmas tree; and soak in the unique Christmas atmosphere all around. Bethlehem, the Palestinian town in which Jesus was born, is located in the West Bank, just a few minutes south of Jerusalem. You can experience all of this yourself by joining our special Bethlehem Christmas Eve Tour.
