Where to go on holiday in December
As the year comes to a close, now is the time to tick off any last minute travels on your bucket list before starting afresh in the New Year. Whilst Europe is shivering in the winter cold, there's plenty of warm places out there to visit. There’s nothing quite like waking up on Christmas morning in the warm climates of Morocco and Egypt, unwinding on the beach in Sri Lanka or heading out on search of the Big 5 in Kenya and Tanzania. Alternatively, head to Lapland for a snowy pre-Christmas holiday or celebrate New Year's under an explosion of fireworks in Reykjavik. Those looking for a Christmas spent on the beach will find no shortage of options from the turquoise waters of Southeast Asia to the tropical Caribbean coast throughout Central America.
