We know that the holiday season is the time to come together with friends and family to enjoy each other’s company. It is the time to laugh, make memories and enjoy traditions. Sometimes though, you may need a break; or sometimes, you need to use that PTO because it doesn’t roll over into the New Year! So if you’re looking to try something new, something tropical, something warm, and are in dire need of getting away from the cold or snow during the season, here are the 5 best places to visit for a holiday getaway.
Barbados
The entire island joins in on Christmas festivities from the shops, hotels, and restaurants decked out. There are feasts, craft fairs, festivals, and so many delectable foods to choose from. You’re going to eat great and have the time of your life there.
Turks & Caicos
A luxury Christmas trip, you said? Visit Turks & Caicos for the holidays to indulge in all things luxury and, of course, elegance. They have dazzling displays all holiday-themed at their resorts, and it is certainly ideal if you want to have a luxurious and bougie Christmas. Be jolly, but make it cute!
Jamaica
The party doesn’t stop because it’s Christmas! December is actually their busiest time of the year for tourism, with the entire island showing holiday spirit and going above and beyond with festive activities, you’re sure to have an amazing holiday here.
Puerto Rico
Christmas in Puerto Rico is all December long and goes straight into January. Old San Juan gets beautifully decorated with lights and vivid colors. The streets are filled with people dancing to Christmas music, but with a salsa-inspired twist. It’s something everyone should experience at least once.
St. Croix
St. Croix has one of the best Christmas experiences ever because their carnival celebration falls during the week leading up to Christmas as well as New Year’s. There is something to do every day with their Crucian Christmas Festival. Cultural night, calypso monarch, Miss St. Croix pageant—there are so many activities to choose from!
All of these places are ideal if you want to spend your holiday in the sun and sand with a lovely drink in your hand. Would you take one of these holiday getaway trips for Christmas?
