The holidays are coming whether you are ready or not, and if the thought of white sand beaches, mild temperatures, and sunny days has you planning a Christmas escape to Cocoa Beach, our Happy Palm Stays holiday hideaways are waiting to embrace you and your family with comfort and style. Offering everything you need to enjoy a Christmas you will never forget, we can promise that every moment of every day will be your favorite as you relax, shop, and gorge yourself on holiday yummies. When it is time to start thinking about the feast around which this holiday revolves, we have created this guide to Christmas dinner in Cocoa Beach, FL, showing all of the options you have to make this Christmas the tastiest one ever.
Mom Deserves the Break
When you think about all the holiday meals your mom has prepared over the years, don’t you think the best gift she can receive this year is one she can unwrap with every bite she takes? We are of course talking about taking mom (and the whole family) out for a delicious Christmas meal. Let someone else do the hard work and make mom feel like a queen as she devours a meal that was prepared, served, and cleared away by someone other than herself; the restaurants listed below are happy to do just that!
Manny’s Cucina Napoletana, 4980 N Wickham Road Suite 103 in Melbourne
For many families the big meal takes place on Christmas Eve and traditionally, Manny’s Cucina Napoletana has offered its Christmas Eve Seven Fishes Dinner at Manny’s starting at 5:30 PM. Offering a delicious seafood dinner that honors the Italian tradition of eating fish and seafood, your Christmas eve will be a night that will never be forgotten and even if you do have to stay up half the night putting together your kids’ Christmas gifts, the memory of the meal will keep your smile in place.
Flavour Kitchen and Wine Bar, 15 N Orlando Avenue in Cocoa Beach
Flavour Kitchen and Wine Bar has long been our favorite special occasion restaurant and on Christmas day, Chef Jason goes all out, offering an elevated three-course prix-fixe meal that will make your taste buds stand up and cheer. In 2023, their menu included a choice between Steak, salmon, duck, and lobster risotto and we can promise that no one left the table hungry. In one family, each diner chose a different main course, allowing everyone to sample all that was offered, an idea we thought was genius!
Stay in with the Family and Dine Like Kings
Some of your favorite holiday moments will be the ones you enjoy at home in our holiday sanctuaries with your family. But before mom (or whoever traditionally prepares the holiday feast) begins to shed a tear at the thought of all the work involved, we have an idea that will satisfy everyone. Just head to Publix Grocery Store, found in a variety of locations throughout Cocoa Beach and Melbourne and let them do the hard stuff. Our local Publix Grocery Store has always been there for us, whether we need a full week’s worth of groceries, forgot to get a birthday cake for our coworker, or at the holidays, when we want to eat well, but just don’t want to put in the work. Their Christmas feast include all the trimmings and are a taste to behold and as it warms up, the scents that will waft through the rooms of your holiday hideaway, it really will feel as if dear mom created the meal to remember.
Ho-Ho-Home in Cocoa Beach and Melbourne for the Holidays
For many travelers, however, no matter how many new traditions they bring into their lives over the holidays, the one thing that can never change, is the Christmas dinner cooked by mom and those moms, they know how much it means to their family.

Spacious and cheerful these rooms truly are the heart of the home and as you sing along to the Christmas music you are streaming, maybe your favorite gift will be the family members singing along beside you as they act as your sous chefs.

If you are going to work as hard as you do on your Christmas vacation, the rest of your family will be in charge of clean-up, as it should be. Reserve your favorite holiday hideaway today!
