By Stephanie Rumalay
The festive season of Christmas is all about spending quality time with the family and the perfect way to celebrate the season is to whisk them off to a holiday whether in the sun or someplace where snow is fun.
1. SICILY, ITALY
If you fancy going somewhere with less crowds and with bright skies are guaranteed, Sicily is for you and the family. Go back in time as you stroll down the streets of baroque towns and experience traditional Italian Christmas in a milder weather!
2. PARIS, FRANCE
Every child would love to spend Christmas in the happiest place on earth. So why not surprise the kids and bring them to Disneyland Paris where the fun never stops? Disneyland Paris will be more enchanting this year as it is their 25th anniversary!
3. DUBAI, UAE
Dubai is one of the perfect winter sun destinations. You can catch up some of the rays in Dubai and lounge around Jumeirah Beach. Kids will be glad to know that Dubai is the home of the world’s largest theme park IMG Worlds of Adventure and also if you want to cool down from the Middle Eastern sun, head over to Ski Dubai where you can ski indoors!
4. ZAGREB, CROATIA
Zagreb has been voted as Europe’s best Christmas Market for the past two years and this city will definitely take the Grinch out of anyone in the family. Enjoy the Croatian festive spirit and atmosphere with loved ones and get to see locals light up lanterns and send it to the sky to celebrate the festive season.
5. CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN
The Canary Islands is no surprise for making it on the list. Lanzarote, Tenerife, Fuerteventura and other Canary Islands are always a favourite among Irish travellers and we do not blame them! Escape the harsh winter and top up your tan in the Canaries!
