‘Tis the season to hop on a flight and tell Santa where you’re headed. Whether you’re a traveling pair or a party of five, a festive vacation provides a fun, stress-free alternative to attending the family gathering. If you choose the right destination, a cheap Christmas holiday is easy to find and will leave extra cash for the make-up gift you’ll have to bring back to mom.
Many resorts book up over the holidays but sit empty in the days before, offering better rates for guests who can arrive ahead of the rush and stay through New Years. Start your search early to score great savings, and head out before December 24th, which is one of the most expensive days to travel.
While Mexico is one of your best bets for a cheap Christmas holiday, there are plenty of other vacay-worthy spots to suit a smaller budget at this time of year. From Prague to Split to Colombia, you’re sure to find a spot that’s perfect for your festive trip.
Skip out on the tidings but not the joy with our list of the best cheap Christmas holiday destinations.
