7 Of the Ultimate Places to Get Away From It All This Christmas

Christmas holidays are usually the best part of the year when the air is filled with snowflakes and glitter and Christmas trees decorate the streets, houses, malls and more and stockings treasure our surprise gifts. What a time to recall and what a time to plan for! Christmas indeed is the best time to plan a trip, live the festive season, and explore the many ways it is celebrated in.

While this festival is all about the church, the gathering of people to worship God and exchange peaceful and loving emotions, the enthusiasm put together to hype the season and rejoicing about the fact that the one we believe in was born on this auspicious day. Christmas cheer is enhanced by the snow covered tree, the gorgeous greeting cards, the yummy sweets, and glistening decorations.

This Christmas, let’s think of something out of the box. We’ve obviously spent umpteen numbers of Christmases with family and friends back home. This season let’s break free. Let’s get away from the cliché celebrations and give the festive shimmer an invigorating shape this year. Here’s how to innovate your Christmas by planning exploring a little more of the world.

Christmas Vacation Ideas


Tanzania


Ever dreamt of an adventurous Christmas, with hikes being a part of it? No? That’s because it isn’t a normal way of celebrating this festival. However, if you’re looking for a way to burst the traditional bubble and do something extravagant, this isn’t that bad an idea. Tanzania with its land of animals and peaks and parks could just be your perfect get away from it all this Christmas.

Bora Bora

This bliss of nature is generously found here on this island. Bora Bora makes you feel like you’ve stepped into some place outside the world. The beauty and tranquility of this place may just make you forget about the festive season. So if you wish to escape the cheer of Christmas altogether, here is where you should pack up for.

While this was Christmas excluding Christmas, let’s take a look at the different way of enjoying the festival while slashing the trite festive delight.

Seville

This Spanish city is Catholic to the core. While we have Santa Claus and a sparkling decor, they have chestnuts roasting, traditional markets, sober decoration, native scenarios, fine delicacies teamed up with wine and more. The city exhibits a subtle Christmas cheer that is indeed impactful.

New York

America goes overboard with Christmas as they always add a little extra to everything during this season. The city otherwise beautiful switches to glamorous with shimmery lights, fascinating decoration, tall colorfully dressed trees that glow with lights and a lot more. Indulge in the festive fun and try your hand at ice skating here as well.

Rome

Visit the lively city of Italy that’s low on tourists this time of the year. However, the city isn’t quiet nor does it suffer isolation. The Piazza Navona sets up an elaborate Christmas market. So you have that Christmassy atmosphere with a stunning décor and lively celebrations without the hotchpotch of the city. On Christmas Eve, you have a mid night mass preceded by a joyous trip to the Vatican on Christmas Day.

Rio de Janeiro


Celebrate this Christmas with Christ the redeemer in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The city throws huge parties at this time of the year. You have mesmerizing beaches, sparkling fireworks, and a whole lot of local enthusiasm to add to the Christmas fun. Rio de Janeiro is a package of Christ, nature and entertainment, together in a single vacation.

Lapland

This Christmas, fly to the land of Santa Claus (the Christmas Father). Finland, Norway, Sweden are a few options to choose from. If you love the traditional Christmas celebration, you can literally live one here. Enjoy an icy Christmas here with husky sledges, reindeer, or snowmobile tours and more. Visit the Christmas village here and enjoy this festive season like never before. On this trip you will be doing the usual traditional stuff with originality. Could Christmas get any better?

You cannot take Christ out of Christmas, we don’t wish for that either. But, you can of course enjoy the festival vivid ways and create forever cherishing memories in different parts of the world.
