You can never tire of spending Christmas and New Year in Goa. There’s always something fresh and charming about this time to make you want to return again and again to this beautiful seaside resort destination.

An unmissable part of this allure is, of course, its festivals, long embedded in its vibrant cultural heritage.

Follow the offbeat track to explore this unique slice of Catholic Goa. Standing atop the Cuelim Hill in Cansaulim the Three King’s Chapel, also known as Our Lady of Remedios Chapel, is a huge draw for adventure and paranormal enthusiasts; it becomes even more crowded during the annual Three Kings Festival. The lovely, whitewashed chapel, which is closed all year round, is open to the public only during the festival. The site is pretty deserted at night, adding to its paranormal hype.

January 6, 2026, marking the Feast of the Epiphany, is slated to bring a new energy to this part of Goa’s traditional Festival of the Three Kings— celebrated in a very special way in the villages of Cansaulim, Arossim, and Cuelim. Cansaulim in South Goa is not only known for its scenic setting— there’s another enticement here for those who love all things spooky!
