People throughout the world are getting into the Christmas season, and New Year’s celebrations are on the way. Here are the top December vacation locations, whether you’re a culture vulture, a sun lover, or simply looking for some Christmas joy:

• Maldives – if you’re looking for tropical indolence, the Maldives is paradise at any time of year. However, the islands are at their finest in December, which marks the beginning of the dry season. December is an excellent month for water sports like as snorkelling and diving, where you may see a diverse range of marine species.
• Northern Norway – there are a million and one reasons why Norway is the ideal place for a December vacation: whale viewing, cross-country skiing, and the otherworldly Northern Lights.
• Tenerife – Tenerife should be on your list of winter sun locations in December. Despite being the coolest month of the year on this gorgeous island, temperatures remain in the 20°C range.
• Germany – if you arrive in early December, you’ll avoid the tourist crowds while still being able to experience the magnificent Christmas markets with their brilliant holiday lights, great meals, hot cider, and more!
