15 Holiday Travel Ideas – Escape This Season

December 14, 2021
  • Share

It’s always a popular time to travel during the holiday season. And honestly who doesn’t love a nice vacation! Whether it’s a trip somewhere warm or a long weekend at your favorite ski resort, a vacation is what we all need right now. A few years ago I traveled to Washington D.C. during the holiday season. It’s a fun experience to visit cities that are covered in twinkly lights. It gets you in the holiday spirit. I put together a guide of the Top 15 places to travel this season. It features places that I’ve visited and a few dream destinations. I’ll be home for Christmas this year, which will be lovely. However, if you’re looking for a last-minute getaway then hopefully this guide leaves you inspired.

Different from big cities, their decorations or more rustic and less modern. Known for hot red wine, tour around the local shops while you sip on some red wine to warm you up.

London is an absolute dream to be during the holiday season. Glowing with lights all around and restaurants are decorated to the nines.
