London, for Christmas? Sign us up!

London is one of my favorite cities in the world! Anytime I visit I find new places to discover alongside those spots that I just can’t miss revisiting! But I have never been there at Christmastime – something I hope to fix soon!London looks so magical at Christmas – from the decorations, ente...

The length of time from sunrise to sunset in Skagen, Denmark, is six hours and thirty one minutes on Winter Solstice, with the sun rising at 8:59am and setting at 3:31pm. With so much darkness, it is no wonder that the Danes invented the concept of hygge - a term to describe the state of feeling warm, comfortable, and safe. Here is hoping your first day of winter includes lots of warm blankets and quiet togetherness with loved ones!

Looking for a quick getaway idea to celebrate the season - look no further than Hershey, aka Chocolatetown USA!

Sure, chocolate has its share of holidays – Halloween, Valentine’s Day, even Easter. But to me, nothing says chocolate like Christmas time. And what better place to celebrate all things chocolate than Hershey, Pennsylvania! This town really goes all out for the holidays. From Hersheypark Christm...

There once was a holiday season where one of our Travel Designers traded snowy scenes for cobblestone streets and ancient wonders - here is that story.

Rome is truly magical at Christmas, with twinkling lights, festive markets, and the awe-inspiring St. Peter's Square Christmas tree. From sipping cappuccinos by cozy piazzas to indulging in Italian holiday treats, every moment feels like a gift. 🎁🎅

I always tell people that it was my favorite Christmas because it was. In 2017, my daughter studied abroad in Rome, Italy. She lived with a family there while attending Temple University in Rome, and traveled all over Europe on weekends. When her semester was over in December, we decided to take our...

You know what's better than having a house full of people for Christmas? Taking everyone to Walt Disney World. Roller Coasters > cleaning and cooking.

If you have seen the new movie Red One, then you have heard of Krampus...think of the Yule Lads as his distant cousins!

Iceland is a...unique country. It is a people who basically annoyed Denmark into giving them independence in 1918. The most famous restaurant is a hot dog stand. There is an app to make sure that the person you've got your eye on isn't related to you, which comes in handy because the entire populati...

Christmas on the Beach: Hawaii edition! We are quite insanely jealous.

17/12/2024

This is one of the best holiday traditions we have ever heard of, so we just had to share this story again!

Our family has a long tradition of loving the Dr. Seuss story about the Grinch – starting with the original book, on to the animated television special from back in the 60s (I mean- of course!!), up to the full-length live-action over-the-top movie from 2000 with Jim Carrey in “How the Grinch St...

Time for Christmas on the Beach: Dominican Republic edition! These folks are headed to Dreams Flora, an intimate all-inclusive on a palm-lined beach near Punta Cana. With eight dining locations and an on-site waterpark in addition to the pools and beach, what more do you need?

We love a good made up holiday, so we can totally get behind day!

Nothing says the winter season to me like hot chocolate. Growing up in the Northeast, my mom would always have some ready for us when we came in from sledding – or shoveling as we got older – and it was always a welcome treat! I live in Florida now, but every year my family puts on pajamas, grab...

Not everyone requires snow for Christmas! These folks will be celebrating at the Barceló Maya Beach all-inclusive resort in the Cancun area. What fun!

Let's get you there!

Just days away from Christmas, one can assume the Big Guy isn’t traveling too far from the North Pole! However, when Santa takes some well-deserved time away from the workshop, you might find him in Jefferson, New Hampshire.
