The weather during this period is often warm and sunny with average temperatures ranging from 23\u00b0C to 32\u00b0C (73\u00b0F to 90\u00b0F), especially on the west coast and inland regions. Expect some afternoon rain showers, but they tend to pass quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Major cities and tourist destinations like Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Langkawi host lively Christmas and New Year\u2019s celebrations with bazaars, concerts, fireworks displays and nightlife. Entertainment hubs like Genting Highlands also draw big holiday crowds with hotel deals and festivities. Plus, there are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malaysiavisa.ae\/blog\/things-to-do-in-genting-highlands-malaysia\/\">things to do in Genting Highlands<\/a> during this season. It&#8217;s a good idea to book tours and hotels well in advance since this is considered peak tourism season.<\/p>\n<p>Beaches may have moderate winds and waves, especially on islands on Malaysia&#8217;s east coast like Redang, Perhentian and Tioman which otherwise boast idyllic tropical weather. The west coast around Kuala Lumpur tends to experience more rainfall. But beach alternatives like food tours, jungle walks, historic architecture and shopping provide plenty of dry-weather enjoyment.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, December presents a festive, engaging time to visit Malaysia. Just prepare for holiday crowds by reserving flights and hotels early. Pack light, breathable clothing that can handle spurts of rain during an otherwise sunny Malaysian winter break.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_most_stunning_locations_in_Malaysia_to_visit_in_December_are_listed_here\"><\/span>The most stunning locations in Malaysia to visit in December are listed here :<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>1.
