KINGSTON, Jamaica – In a heartfelt tribute to her nation’s resilience, renowned dancehall artist Spice has transformed her Christmas decorations into a symbolic homage to Jamaica following the devastation wrought by Hurricane Melissa. The musical artist, known for her chart-topping single “Go Down Deh,” has consciously dedicated her seasonal celebrations to supporting national morale during recovery efforts.
The entertainer’s Instagram revelation showcased an artistically curated Christmas tree featuring distinctive Jamaican elements. Ornaments shaped like the island’s map highlighted all 14 parishes, accompanied by symbolic praying hands and ribbons inscribed with traditional Jamaican proverbs. Maintaining her signature silver-and-white aesthetic theme, Spice incorporated geographical representations of hard-hit areas including Kingston, Negril, Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, and Port Antonio.
“This Christmas carries profound significance for our nation,” Spice expressed in her social media statement. “Amid the holiday celebrations, I remain acutely aware of the challenges facing Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa. This dedication represents my unwavering commitment to our people and our collective recovery journey.”
This festive gesture follows Spice’s substantial humanitarian contribution last month, when she provided building supplies to residents of Bethel Town in Westmoreland—one of the regions most severely impacted by the catastrophic weather event.
Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica as a Category Five storm on October 28, 2025, resulting in tragic loss of 45 lives and causing extensive damage through widespread flooding, landslides, and destruction of homes and critical infrastructure. The western parishes—particularly St. Elizabeth, Westmoreland, Trelawny, St. James, and Hanover—suffered the most severe impacts of the natural disaster.
