Malta in December
Festive streets and mild winter weather
The short answer
December is a reasonable month in Malta — with trade-offs.
December brings festive decorations and seasonal events to Malta’s towns and cities. Days are relatively mild, but rain, wind and cooler evenings make it less suitable for a conventional beach holiday.
