How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Christmas?
Gross bookings per Christmas listing averaged $5,664 over the 12 months to December 2025 (Florida average: $39,250), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Christmas listing brought in $2,250 in July, its best month, and $587 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 36% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Christmas's 19 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $2,680+ a month, about twice the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,050 or more, roughly $750 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $1,300 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $888 or less, about two-thirds of the median.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Christmas Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Christmas Airbnb took in $5,664 in the 12 months to December 2025, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about $8,960, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $550 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any HOA or condo fees.

How Christmas's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Christmas listings are booked on 52% or more of their nights, against 40% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $69 adds about $687 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $105 a night or more, against a median of $69. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about $570 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about $2,250, against $587 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about $750 a month, against $470 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Christmas
