Along with the holidays, December will also bring us increasingly severe cold and shorter days. When this is accompanied by a pile of freshly fallen snow, Christmas can be quite magical, but every year global warming diminishes our hope that white magical Christmases are even possible. Then why not just escape somewhere far away during the holidays? Here you can find a list of 8 destinations for those who want to spend Christmas in a warm place.
These are the top 8 destinations for those who want to spend Christmas in a warm place.
Sydney, Australia
They currently have summer in the southern hemisphere. If we won't have a white Christmas (it doesn't look like it will snow any time soon), I can at least celebrate Christmas in a warm place.
Los Angeles, USA
Enjoy Disneyland and Universal Studios, and enjoy a leisurely sunbath on the beach during the weekend. Not to mention the excellent restaurants that are flourishing in Los Angeles.
Cartagena, Colombia
In Cartagena, they are almost obsessed with celebrating Christmas. The entire city is decked out in lights, and people are totally getting into the Christmas spirit. In addition to its colonial architecture and UNESCO-listed city center, Cartagena is also known for its excellent diving spots.
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Even in December, Myrtle Beach is a warm enough destination to warm your cold bones. On Christmas Eve, you can witness the Night of a Thousand Candles in the beautiful Brookgreen Gardens, when more than 4,500 candles are lit.
Cape Town, Republic of South Africa
Cape Town has everything the discerning tourist could wish for – from beaches to mountains, from cultural attractions to an excellent culinary scene.
Madeira, Portugal
If time and finances do not allow you to jump to more distant places, during the holidays you can escape to the Wednesday Atlantic Review. There lies the beautiful island of Madeira, which boasts hilly nature, unusual trees, blooming avocados and excellent seafood.
Maui, Hawaii
On Maui, Christmas is celebrated in the company of Santa Claus, who travels from one place to another in a canoe. You can go whale watching on Christmas morning.
Malta
Although it is not very hot in Malta in December, the temperatures are significantly higher than here. Discover European Baroque and Neoclassical architecture and go on an afternoon cycling tour. The bravest may even jump into the sea.
