While it may seem far off, we’re officially less than 100 days away from Christmas. Family travelers looking to travel for the holiday season will be excited to know Beaches Resorts and The Lumistella Company will bring back The Elf on the Shelf tradition to Jamaica and Turks & Caicos for the second year and launch its Countdown to Christmas in the Caribbean sweepstakes.

 

Holiday fun begins Nov. 29, when Beaches Resorts’ Scout Elf friends deliver a world of happenings, from the weekly Sweet Island Soiree holiday parties to movie nights under the stars and much more. For those booked in Butler Suites, new turndown amenities have been curated especially for Santa’s helpers. Scout Elf Central is the on-resort spot for Elf on the Shelf-themed games, activities and more.

Through Nov. 1, families can enter the Countdown to Christmas in the Caribbean sweepstakes, awarding one lucky family a four-day, three-night all-inclusive trip to Beaches Turks & Caicos for two adults, two children (15 years of age and younger), and one V.I.E (very important elf!).

 

Families can give back this holiday season by supporting Sandals Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Beaches Resorts. Yearly, the foundation provides 15,000 toys to children across the Caribbean and Beaches guests can craft cards to be given to local children.
