Our feature report focuses on Liberia. In this country, history, culture, and community spirit blend to create some of West Africa’s most vibrant holiday traditions. Our correspondent, Abraham Parker, has been spending time with Liberians from different walks of life to understand how they celebrate the festive season.

From families in Monrovia preparing communal meals, to rural communities keeping age-old customs alive; from young people finding new ways to reconnect through music and beach gatherings, to elders reflecting on what the holidays truly mean, Liberia offers a mosaic of experiences shaped by heritage, faith, and everyday realities.

Abraham brings us voices that speak to the joys and the challenges, the moments of laughter, the pressures of expectation, and the unique ways Liberians make the season their own. It’s a look at how people come together, how they unwind, and how traditions continue to evolve in a nation known for its resilience and warmth.
