Revenue

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.

Estimate Your Own Christmas Airbnb Profit

The estimate starts from Christmas's average listing, run by its owner. Change how the listing performs, who runs it and who cleans to see what is left for the mortgage or rent.

To work out the profit on one Christmas home, with its price, its mortgage or rent and your own costs, use the Airbnb income calculator. It starts from the comparable listings around the address.

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

16% of the 19 active listings in Christmas display a registration, permit or license number. A low share doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and occupancy-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the city or county before buying or listing in Christmas.

FAQ

Christmas Airbnb FAQ

How much do Airbnb hosts make in Christmas?

An active Christmas Airbnb grossed $5,664 on average in the 12 months to December 2025, according to AirROI's tracking of 19 active listings. That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in $2,050 or more in a typical month.

It depends most on the home's size, location and how it's run. The middle half of Christmas listings earn between $888 and $2,050 in a typical month, and the top tenth $2,680 or more.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Christmas?

Is Airbnb profitable in Christmas?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Christmas Airbnb grossed $5,664 in the 12 months to December 2025, 86% below the Florida average of $39,250, though with only 19 active listings a single property can move that figure, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about $550 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
