Christmas 2026 in Jaipur: Events, Brunches & Winter Markets
Christmas Day 2026 falls on a Friday, which gives Jaipur a long festive weekend at the height of its tourist season. The city's Christmas is less about tradition than about winter weather and a packed calendar. Hotels around Jawahar Circle, Tonk Road and Kukas run Christmas Eve dinners and Christmas Day brunches; malls such as World Trade Park and Pacific Mall put up trees and run children's activities; and cafés in C-Scheme and Civil Lines sell plum cake and host carol evenings and Secret Santa meet-ups. The week also overlaps with some of Jaipur's biggest winter events: the Jaipur Jewellery Show at JECC from 22 to 25 December, the Jaigarh Heritage Festival, listed from 18 December, and the Street & Soul Bazaar, a multi-day market with live music at the VT Road ground in Mansarovar, listed from 23 December. For worship, the city's churches, among them St. Xavier's in C-Scheme and All Saints' Church off MI Road, hold Christmas Eve and Christmas morning services; confirm timings with the parish. Daytime temperatures are pleasant and nights are cold, so outdoor events ask for a jacket. This page lists Christmas markets, brunches, parties, carols and children's events across Jaipur.
