Costa Rica – If you’re main goal is to escape the snow and instead lounge on the beach with gorgeous views of the ocean, Costa Rica is your spot. The hot weather will help you defrost from the dire cold and warm you up in no time. Not to mention the tan you’ll have!

Capetown – Increasingly becoming a popular destination for international travelers, Capetown in South Africa is very warm when we are cold. Get your tan on and enjoy the lively spirit of South Africans who will also be on holiday. Accommodations are more expensive during this season, but if you book ahead of time this is a holiday destination you won’t want to miss.

Iceland – If you can brave the cold, Iceland under the Northern Lights is a spectacle to see. To get in the mood for the holidays, visit a traditional Christmas market, go ice skating at the Reykjavík Pond or ride an Icelandic horse through the snow.

Australia – If you want Christmas and summer at the same time, head to Australia to celebrate the holidays in bikinis and board shorts. Instead of making a snowman, make a sandman. Instead of chilling by the fire, head to the beach. You get the idea!
