For a classic festive experience, Vienna is an enchanting choice for pre Christmas hotel breaks. The Austrian capital comes alive in the weeks prior to the big day, with atmospheric Christmas markets filling its squares with twinkling lights, seasonal aromas and traditional stalls. Spend your days browsing for gifts, sampling festive treats and admiring Vienna's grand architecture before retreating to a luxury hotel. A pre Christmas city break can also incorporate classical concerts, elegant restaurants and private sightseeing experiences, creating a sophisticated introduction to the festive season.
If you prefer your pre Christmas getaway to be filled with adventure, head to Whistler in Canada for a spectacular skiing holiday. Surrounded by snow-covered mountains, this renowned resort offers exceptional skiing and snowboarding alongside exhilarating winter activities and lively après-ski experiences. Luxury accommodation provides a welcoming retreat after a day on the slopes, while the resort's restaurants, shops and bars add plenty of variety to your stay. A Whistler pre Christmas escape is perfect for couples, families and groups wanting to begin the festive season in the mountains.
For families, Finnish Lapland offers the chance to experience the magic of Christmas before the big day arrives. Snow-covered forests and Arctic landscapes provide the setting for husky rides, snowmobile adventures and reindeer sleigh rides, while the highlight for many children will be a special visit to Santa himself. Staying in a luxury lodge or hotel adds to the sense of occasion, with warm interiors providing a cosy contrast to the snowy wilderness outside. Lapland makes an unforgettable choice for families who want their pre Christmas breaks to feel genuinely magical.
Alternatively, escape the winter altogether with a relaxing pre Christmas holiday in the Maldives. Couples can exchange the December cold for warm sunshine, white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters, staying in luxurious villas surrounded by tropical scenery. Days can be spent snorkelling, enjoying spa treatments, sailing into the sunset or simply relaxing together beside the Indian Ocean. A Maldives pre Christmas getaway offers a peaceful opportunity to recharge before the excitement of Christmas begins.
The beauty of travelling before Christmas is that your holiday can be as traditional or unconventional as you wish. You could combine a city break with festive shopping, add a few days of skiing to a wider Canadian itinerary or simply disappear to a tropical island for some much-needed relaxation.
