Christmas holidays

Forget the Yorkshire puds and turkey leftovers, these All Inclusive getaways will have you running back for seconds (or even thirds) with a buffet spread every day of the week, not just one day of the year. After all, it’s the season of indulgence! And is there any better place to drink unlimited cocktails, than around the pool in exotic Mexico or along the shores of the Canary Islands? Nope, we didn’t think so.

Placing you in the heart of some of Europe's biggest cities, these Christmas market breaks will see you stuffing street food in Berlin (wurst sausage, anyone?), admiring snow-topped spires in Krakow and sleigh riding in Vienna. Lose yourself among stalls decorated in fairy lights and stuffed with handcrafted goods, while sipping a steamy cup of mulled wine. And don’t forget about the fairground fun and cookie-making activities for the kids!

The Big Apple has to be one of the most festive places on earth, from its Thanksgiving parades in November to the Rockefeller Christmas Tree lighting in December. When you’re not ice-skating in Central Park, you can hit the Winter Village in Bryant Park, one of the largest Christmas markets in the city. Or catch the Empire State Building's annual holiday light show before admiring the window displays at Saks Fifth Avenue or Macy’s.

Say goodbye to blankets and hello to beach towels. Forget dark nights when you’ve got 11 hours of sunshine waiting in the Caribbean. And who needs Buck’s Fizz, when you’ve got mojitos on tap in Fuerteventura? Plus, there are getaways to close-to-home favourites Portugal and Turkey. Check out these sizzling steals that will warm up your winter in no time.

Are you a last-minute, mad-rush Christmas Eve shopper? Then these are the deals for you. Whether you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime gift without lifting a finger or a spur-of-the-moment escape away from the cold, there are getaways to majestic Malta, dreamy Dominican and for twinkling lights not of the artificial kind, Iceland is a must-visit!

So if you take away the present buying, over-the-top food shopping and decorations that rival the house in the movie Deck the Halls, surely one of these cheap Christmas holiday deals is better value for money, right? Instead, relax on the beach in Egypt, explore the lunar landscapes of Lanzarote or tick off bucket list adventures in Florida. And it’s not just about sun-soaked fun, these city breaks are just as affordable.
