The spirit of Christmas will be felt even stronger when you choose to spend Christmas 2024 in the comfort of our vacation rentals, and even though you won’t be experiencing a white Christmas, all the other non-snow holiday traditions will be enjoyed. Driving around town looking for the best Christmas light displays, shopping at holiday markets and marking off ALL the names on your list, and of course, enjoying a Christmas feast after opening all the presents. These activities are what makes the holiday shine brighter than all others and our guide to Christmas dinner in Port Aransas will give you options, including the one of letting someone else prepare, serve, and clear away your most favorite meal of the year.

A Gift Unwrapped One Bite at a Time

It could be different in your family, but in most households, it is mom who is chained to the kitchen, preparing all the meals her family loves, and missing out on all the action in the other parts of the house. This year, however, could be different as you give her a gift she will unwrap one bite at a time, and that gift is a Christmas dinner out at any of the restaurants we have listed below.

Kody’s, 2034 TX-361 A

When you love a good steak or seafood dinner, but you really don’t like the idea of dressing up for the meal on Christmas, Kody’s is where we suggest you visit! Offering a menu that never lets you down and serving the food in a casual pub like atmosphere, reasonable prices will ensure that your budget is able to breathe a little better, something that will be most appreciated after all the expense of Christmas. Also offering a mini golf course outside, Kody’s is a great place to relax and have fun and as a bonus is open every day of the year, so if you are still here on New Years, you can meander in for another great meal!

Tortuga’s Saltwater Grill, 429 N Alister Street

Providing an elevated seafood dining experience, there is no word yet as to whether or not Tortuga’s Saltwater Grill will be serving a special holiday menu, but whether they do or they don’t, we can promise your meal will be a memorable one! Originally, this fine restaurant began as a simple brewpub, serving beer and pizza, but in 2018 the owners realized that their passion for creating meals and Tortugas was born, birth we most appreciate!
