December hits differently in Florida. While most of the country is scraping windshields and layering sweaters, the Sunshine State turns into a breezy, 70-degree playground of beach days, neon-lit festivals, waterfront dinners, and holiday celebrations that feel more like mini-vacations. It’s the perfect month for families, church groups, sports teams, friends, and corporate crews to come together for warm-weather adventures without juggling the chaos of snow, airline delays, or bundled-up misery.
And yet, even in paradise, group travel can turn messy fast—split cars, crossed signals, overflowing luggage, and “Where are you parked?” conversations that drain the holiday spirit. That’s where Nation Van Rentals changes the game. With 12-passenger and 15-passenger vans available across Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota, and Atlanta, you get one spacious ride, one plan, and zero stress. December is Florida’s moment—here’s how to make it yours.
December is one of Florida’s most magical months. The humidity vanishes, the temperatures settle into a perfect mid-70s groove, and the sunshine shows off with crisp blue skies. It’s the sweet spot where outdoor activities become effortless and holiday events come alive:
Orlando: Disney’s Very Merry Christmas, Universal’s Holiday Parade, Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays.
Tampa Bay: Riverwalk light displays, Busch Gardens Christmas Town, boat parades.
Miami: Art Basel, Zoo Lights, Wynwood winter markets, Bayfront Park holiday villages.
Sarasota: Siesta Key’s sand-sculpture festival, St. Armands Circle winter events.
The weather alone makes December ideal for group trips. No heat exhaustion, no afternoon thunderstorms, no winter storms to ruin your plans. And unlike summer, you can hop between stops without needing an hour of recovery between them.
But great weather attracts crowds—and that’s when having your group together in one van becomes the ultimate advantage.
Traveling as a group during peak season is rewarding—but it can also get chaotic if you’re relying on multiple cars or rideshares. A passenger van rental smooths out every holiday wrinkle:
One arrival, one departure. No late cars, lost guests, or mismatched parking garages.
Easy luggage management. Suitcases, gifts, strollers, coolers, and beach gear all fit together.
Shared holiday budget. Fuel, tolls, and parking split across the whole group.
Togetherness. The ride itself becomes part of the fun—holiday playlists, photos, jokes, and downtime.
Tampa Riverwalk? Quick. Orlando theme parks? Unified arrival. Miami nightlife? One vehicle, one plan, no one stranded.
During December, logistics matter more than usual—restaurants book up, parking fills fast, and events have narrow time windows. A van ensures you move as a unit, without the friction that takes away from the season’s joy.
Florida’s cities shine brightest in December—not just with lights but with activities built for groups.

Siesta Key: Soft sand + perfect December sunsets.

A holiday trip brings more than people—it brings stuff:
Gifts
Luggage
Beach bags
Baby gear
Holiday outfits
Sports equipment
Snacks
Souvenirs
Decorations
A 12- or 15-passenger van handles it all. No cramming, no rooftop puzzles, no riding with bags on laps.
Inside the van:
Wide, comfortable seats
Cold A/C (even in December, Florida demands it)
Deep cargo storage
Easy sliding doors
Smooth ride for long routes
Group comfort matters—especially when schedules are tight or you’re covering multiple stops in one day.
December can get expensive if you’re not strategic—but vans help you stay ahead:
Split costs evenly. One vehicle makes budgeting simple and fair.
Skip multiple rentals. Avoid the cost of three SUVs or sedans.
Share tolls and parking. Prime-season parking is pricey—one fee beats three.
Add unlimited mileage. Perfect for multi-city winter tours.
Use one driver. Simplifies scheduling and compliance for schools and churches.
Flying into one city and leaving from another?
A van lets you run a route like MCO → TPA → SRQ → MIA without worrying about rideshares or multiple returns.
Holiday memories aren’t made in traffic—they’re made in the shared moments:
Singing carols in the van
Laughing at group stories
Driving past waterfront lights
Exploring new cities together
Finding unexpected holiday magic in small towns and big attractions
Nation Van Rentals keeps the group together so December feels like December—warm, cheerful, and full of moments worth remembering.
Your holiday adventure starts in the van. Load up, press play on your playlist, and let the Sunshine State do the rest. 🚐✨
