What time are Christmas Eve services in Miami?
So far one Miami church has posted a 2026 time: Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ lists an outdoor candlelight service at 8:00 PM on Thursday, December 24, 2026. The other churches here held Christmas Eve services in past years, and we add their 2026 times as they post them.
Are there Christmas Eve services for kids in Miami?
Yes, several churches have held family services. In 2025, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral held a Family Christmas Eve Service with a pageant, Church of the Little Flower held a Children's Christmas Vigil Mass, and Old Cutler Presbyterian offered children's programs at its earlier service. Check each church's page for 2026.
Is there a Midnight Mass in Miami?
In 2025, Church of the Little Flower in Coral Gables held a Midnight Mass, St. Kevin Catholic Church held a bilingual Midnight Mass, and Sts. Peter and Paul held a late bilingual Vigil Mass. Trinity Episcopal Cathedral also held a late service. None has posted 2026 times yet, so check back in December.
Are there Spanish-language Christmas Eve services in Miami?
Yes. In 2025, Christ Fellowship's Palmetto Bay campus held Spanish services, and St. Kevin Catholic Church and Sts. Peter and Paul held bilingual English and Spanish Masses on Christmas Eve. Their 2026 times are not posted yet, so check each church's own page as December approaches.
Do I need tickets or reservations?
Most churches listed here do not mention tickets. Coral Gables Congregational's 2026 outdoor service lists no ticket requirement, and New Hope Moravian said tickets were not required in 2024. First Miami Presbyterian listed its 2025 services on Eventbrite, so check each church's own page before you go.
Can I watch a Christmas Eve service online in Miami?
Some churches stream their services. Christ Fellowship Miami streamed its 2025 Christmas services online at cfmiami.org/online. No church here has confirmed a 2026 livestream yet, so check the church's own page closer to Thursday, December 24, 2026, for streaming details.
How early should we arrive?
The listings here do not give 2026 arrival advice. Christ Fellowship asked families to check in children 10 minutes before each service in 2025. For any Christmas Eve service, plan extra time for parking and seating, and check the church's own page for current guidance.
How long is a family Christmas Eve service?
Length varies by church. Coral Gables Congregational lists its 2026 outdoor candlelight service as 8:00 to 8:45 PM, about 45 minutes. Most other churches here have not posted 2026 lengths, so check the church's own page and plan around your family's bedtime.
When do churches in Miami post their Christmas Eve times?
Most churches post Christmas Eve times from late November to mid December, and Catholic parishes often post in December. Larger churches sometimes post earlier. We recheck the churches on this page each week from November 20 and add 2026 times as soon as they are posted.
Is there parking or childcare?
Parking and childcare vary by church and are not posted for 2026 yet. In past years, Christ Fellowship offered children's check-in, Granada Presbyterian offered childcare at one of its services, and Old Cutler Presbyterian offered children's programs for ages five and under. Check each church's page.
