As the year 2022 approaches, many people are already planning their Christmas vacations. This holiday season provides a great opportunity to escape from the usual hustle and bustle of everyday life and take some time to relax with family or friends. But where should you go this coming Christmas vacation? While there are many destinations that can offer a festive atmosphere during the holidays, here are some of our top recommendations for where to go on your Christmas vacation in 2022.
1. New York City, USA
The “Big Apple” is a magical place during the holiday season, especially around Christmas time. The city’s famous landmarks such as Rockefeller Center (which hosts an iconic ice skating rink) and Times Square become even more spectacular with all their sparkling lights and decorations. Walk through Central Park or join in on one of the many outdoor holiday markets that pop up throughout December – you won’t miss out experiencing true Yuletide spirit while enjoying American-style festivities.
2. Lapland, Finland
For those looking for something truly unique, how about visiting Santa Claus himself? Lapland is home to Rovaniemi – also known as ‘the official hometown of Santa Claus’. Visitors can enjoy reindeer sleigh rides through snowy forests before dropping into Igloos at Aurora Village for cozy night stays under neath Northern Lights or spenddays dog-sledding over frozen tundras before spending evenings soaking in cottages by log fireplaces while sipping on mulled wine.
3. Reykjavik, Iceland
Iceland has quickly become one of the most talked-about travel destinations due to its breathtaking landscapes filled with glaciers and geysers but it’s not only worth visiting during summer months when greenery abounds… Imagine stepping inside Blue Lagoon between snow-capped mountains! And what better way to experience these sight other than embracing Scandinavian winter festivities like lighting candles or attending traditional Icelandic feasts?
4.Rome, Italy
Rome is a city with no lack of history. In addition to visiting the countless world-renowned sites like Colosseum, Pantheon and The Vatican City (not forgetting its magnificent Nativity scene) Christmas season brings forth traditional ‘La Befana’ – an Italian folklore character who delivers sweets or lumps of coal for naughty children on Epiphany Eve which falls in early January.
5. Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo may not be everyone’s first choice when it comes to finding winter wonderlands but this city offers its own blend of festive fun. Spending Christmas Day hopping from one food stall to another at Yebisu Garden Place’s charming restaurants while admiring illuminations couldn’t get any better when paired with hot late night soakings outdoors in traditional Onsen baths across the town!
No matter where you decide to go celebrate your 2022 Christmas Vacation.. Take some time to disconnect technology-device distractions ensuring you cherish & make enduring memories shared among loved ones during yuletide festivities unmatched by anything else!
