For those of you who like to spend Christmas abroad, now will be the time you start to think of where to go.

As Covid-19 restrictions constantly change, travel is becoming easier and easier. And for those who weren’t able to travel abroad this year, now is your chance!

For some it means avoiding the fuss and spending the festive period relaxing, shopping or doing whatever you please. For others, it means finally being able to see family and spend Christmas together.

A Christmas holiday is also good for budget seekers looking for a cheap and fun holiday abroad.

Emma Coulthurst, a money-saving travel expert for Travel Supermarket explains; “If you are mindful of your budget, Eastern European destinations such as Krakow, Prague or Budapest will give you the lowest-priced Christmas week.

"Antalya and resorts nearby in Turkey top the best value list for a coastal short-haul getaway.

"If you want to get further away – and many of us do after the last couple of years! - the U.S – in particular, Orlando, where you can expect average highs of 23 degrees centigrade - is one of the best value bets”.

Emma also explained that for those chasing a Christmas break, Christmas Day falls on a Saturday this year so you only need to take four days’ holiday if you take leave around the bank holidays on 27 and 28 Dec. Booking off 24 Dec and 29-31 Dec, you can get an 11-day break away from work, finishing work on 24 Dec and returning on 4 Jan.

With that in mind, Travel Supermarket and Ice Lolly have put together a list of holiday packages for you and the family to get away this Christmas. From sunny beach holidays to chilly city getaways, there’s something to suit everyone.
