It’s the most wonderful (and busiest) time of the year on Oahu, and if you still have 20+ nieces, nephews, cousins, co-workers, and neighbors on your list — don’t panic. The Mele Kalikimaka Marketplace 2025 is back and bigger than ever, ready to save your holiday season in one joyful swoop!
When:
- Weekend 1: December 6–7, 2025
- Weekend 2: December 13–14, 2025 Time: 9 AM – 4 PM both weekends Where: Neal S. Blaisdell Exhibition Hall (777 Ward Ave, Honolulu) Parking: Free parking + extra overflow lots (huge win!)
Over 150 local vendors will be slinging everything from handmade jewelry and gourmet treats to kids’ toys and home décor — all with that special Hawaiian Christmas vibe. Think live keiki hula performances, photos with Island-style Santa, and the smell of fresh pineapple in the air.
But here’s the real secret: you can literally finish ALL your gift shopping in under 3 hours… especially when you hit the JAMS World booth first.
Why JAMS World is Your Holiday Shopping Superpower
We’re not just another clothing booth — we’re the one-stop solution for aunties who need gifts that work for everyone from toddlers to tutus. Our bright, happy, made-in-Hawaii pieces scream “I put thought into this!” while actually being the easiest presents you’ll ever buy.
Here are the JAMS World gift heroes flying off the tables this year:
- Reversible Tote Bags – Two looks in one bag! Perfect for teachers, co-workers, or that cousin who has everything.
- Hawaiian Pouches – Makeup bag, sunglasses case, and catch-all pouch in matching prints. Stocking stuffer goals!
- Christmas Gift Totes – Already look like wrapped presents — just drop in a candle or box of chocolate-covered mac nuts and you’re done.
- Men’s Rayon Shirts, Women’s Dresses, Kimonos, Pareos, Robes, and Hats — one-size-fits-most magic for the whole family.
