Get Nutz Christmas in Paradise brings the holiday edition of the GetNutz x Paradise collaboration to the Kroc Center Hawaii in Kapolei on Saturday, December 19, 2026. The partnership between GetNutz, the ohana brand for the culture in Hawaii, and Javin's Paradise Card Show has already produced two of the year's most talked-about events, with the April show drawing 800 attendees and the August edition filling the Kroc Center, and the Christmas edition adds crafts, food, and a VIP package to the card-show formula for a full holiday festival on the west side.
The card floor follows the Paradise template with a Pokemon-first lineup. Expect vendors with modern chase cards and illustration rares, Japanese booster boxes, promos, and exclusives, graded slabs from PSA, CGC, and BGS, and a heavy emphasis on sealed holiday product: elite trainer boxes, collection boxes, tins, and booster bundles priced as gifts. One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, Lorcana, and Dragon Ball tables are expected, along with a handful of sports card dealers carrying NBA and NFL rookies. The GetNutz side of the collaboration brings local streetwear drops, Hawaii-made crafts and gifts from island makers, and food vendors, and previous editions have featured keiki activities, giveaways, and a strong community atmosphere.
The organizers have announced that the full schedule and VIP details are still to come. Prior GetNutz x Paradise shows ran daytime hours from mid-morning into the afternoon, and the VIP package is expected to offer early entry and exclusive merchandise. Confirm hours, general admission pricing, and VIP pricing on the GetNutz and Paradise Card Show Instagram accounts or the hawaiicardshows.com listing.
The Kroc Center Hawaii is at 91-3257 Kualakai Parkway in the Kapolei and Ewa Beach area, about 25 minutes from Honolulu via the H-1 depending on traffic. Previous editions used the center's Ballrooms and Lanai, which pair indoor vendor space with a covered outdoor lanai. On-site parking is available; the lot fills during the busiest midday hours, so arriving early or later in the afternoon helps. The center has a cafe, and Kapolei's restaurants and shopping are minutes away.
This event is a natural fit for families looking for a holiday outing on the west side, for collectors who want to do their gift shopping with local vendors and makers, and for the streetwear and culture crowd that follows GetNutz. Pokemon collectors will find the sealed product and Japanese inventory that Paradise vendors are known for. Note that HNL Card Fest runs the same day at the Hawaii Convention Center; ambitious collectors can do the Kroc Center in the morning and drive into town for the afternoon.
Tips: watch for the VIP package announcement if you want early access, arrive at opening for the best selection, bring cash for food and craft vendors, carry a want list with gift targets, and pack sleeves and top loaders. Bring the keiki; previous editions had plenty for kids to do.
