You probably want to make the most of your much-too-short winter vacation, right? We can’t blame you. Here are three fantastic travel destinations this season, each with their own personality and charm.
For Those That Want That Iconic Christmas Vacation – New York, New York
New York City is the perfect Christmas Vacation spot for several reasons. First, the city is decked out in holiday lights and decorations, making it feel like a true winter wonderland. Second, there are various holiday events and activities to enjoy, from ice skating in Central Park to seeing the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. Third, New York is home to some of the best shopping in the world so that you can find the perfect gifts for all your loved ones, and we mean “all your loved ones.” Finally, the city is simply full of holiday cheer.
For Those That Want Warmth – Palm Springs, California
Palm Springs is ideal if you’re looking for a winter vacation spot that’s sunny and warm. Located in the desert of Southern California, Palm Springs averages about 75 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter months. That means you can enjoy hiking, biking, golfing and swimming even when it’s cold elsewhere. Plus, plenty of hotels, spas, and restaurants keep you and your family entertained.
For Those That Want To Connect With Nature – Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
The scenery within Mount Rainier National Park is breathtaking. The snow-capped mountains and frozen lakes are a true sight to behold. With several snowshoeing trails – some of which are led by humble and responsible forest rangers, and dozens of snowmobiling tracks along Westside Road… it’s impossible not to completely immerse yourself in the astounding sights and sounds of the American Northwest. That means dressing appropriately for the temperature and weather and bringing your food and drinks – many local options will be closed. Just be sure to come prepared.
