Where To Go On Holiday At Christmas
Christmas. You either love it or hate it! If you’re in the first camp, December offers a fantastic opportunity to get into the festive spirit by visiting a Christmas market on the continent, or even heading to Lapland to visit Father Christmas himself.
For those who aren't so bothered about The Big Day, what better way to avoid the shenanigans than to head as far away from it as possible! Consider using this year as your perfect excuse to try something new. How about a Christmas Day spent BBQ'ing shrimp on an Australian beach? Or maybe even a stay in an ice hotel in Sweden? It’s all yours for the taking, so be inspired by our suggestions below and be the maker of your own version of festive fun...
