Christmas Flowers in Ecuador: What to Send From Abroad
Christmas flowers in Ecuador are simple to send from abroad if you order on time. Christmas Day falls on Friday, December 25, 2026, and no flowers are delivered on that public holiday, so the real deadline is a few days earlier. Order by Tuesday, December 22, and your flowers can reach your family in time for Nochebuena, the Christmas Eve dinner.
When is the last day to order Christmas flowers for Ecuador?
Tuesday, December 22, 2026 is the safest last day to order. We recommend ordering 2 to 3 days ahead for holiday dates, and December 22 gives you that margin.

Wednesday, December 23 can still work if you place the order before 11:00 am Ecuador time so it goes out the same day. An order placed after 11:00 am on December 23 is delivered on December 24. December 24 is a Thursday, so it is a normal delivery day, but a late order leaves no room for problems. Orders placed after 11:00 am on December 24 would move to December 25, when nothing is delivered.
Which flowers suit Christmas in Ecuador?
The poinsettia is the plant most people link with Christmas, and it is often called flor de Pascua in Ecuador. A potted poinsettia sits neatly on a table, a sideboard or a windowsill, which suits a family gathering where people are moving around the room. You can read more about the plant on Wikipedia's poinsettia page.
For cut flowers, the catalog has 152 bouquets, arrangements and plants, so you can pick a warm mix for the season. Browse the flowers category and look at the Crimson Kiss Collection if you want a bold look for the holiday table.
Can flowers be delivered on Christmas Day in Ecuador?
No. Christmas Day is a main public holiday, and deliveries do not run on Sundays or main public holidays. Plan delivery for December 23 or December 24, and place the order before 11:00 am Ecuador time on the day you want it delivered.
If your family lives in Quito or Guayaquil, the same rules apply. You can check the local pages for delivery in Quito and delivery in Guayaquil.
What should I add to a Christmas flower order?
Every order includes a free printed card. You can also add one of these items:
- A box of chocolates
- A glass vase, useful if the recipient does not have one for cut flowers
- A plush teddy bear
- A greeting card
- Balloons
- A wine bottle, for the Christmas dinner table
You will also need the recipient's name, full address and a phone number so the florist can coordinate the delivery. If you want a specific time, write it in the delivery instructions. The florist tries to meet it, but exact time slots are not guaranteed.
What should I write on a Christmas card for Ecuador?
Keep the message short and warm. A printed card reads best with one greeting, one personal line and your name. Common choices include Feliz Navidad (Merry Christmas), Feliz Navidad y próspero Año Nuevo (Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year) and Te extraño mucho (I miss you very much).
For example, you could write: Feliz Navidad a toda la familia. Los extraño mucho. Con cariño, [your name]. Write in Spanish if your family reads it easily, and in English if that is how you normally speak with them. Either works, and the personal line matters more than the length.
How do I order Christmas flowers from abroad?
You can order from any country. Pay in USD with a Visa, Mastercard or American Express card through Stripe, or with PayPal. Prices show EUR and GBP for reference, but the charge is in USD.
