December 2017 #HolidayChat Round-Up

Holidays are coming, holidays are coming! Yes, the Christmas period is almost upon us which basically means we have another reason to go away on our jollies. Not that we needed one, eh?

Choosing this month’s #HolidayChat topic, ‘Holidaying At Christmas’, over on Twitter was pretty straightforward because, let’s face it, dreamy getaways are all we’ll be asking Santa for this year..and next year…and the one after that.

So catch up with all the natter from our latest discussion here and get some serious yuletide travel inspo!

Q1) Would you spend Christmas on holiday?

If so, what makes it appeal to you and if not, why not? #HolidayChat

A1: Yes, I’ll travel at any time. In fact, if I had Christmas in a country that didn’t celebrate it, I wouldn’t mind a jot! In fact, the time off work is a great excuse for a holiday! #HolidayChat

Yes I would, I like tradition but every now and again it’s nice to shake things up a bit ??

A1) I have spend every Christmas since 2003 on holiday. I love exploring and experiencing Christmas in other places #HolidayChat

Q2) What tips would you give to someone spending Christmas abroad?

Pack a couple of small presents to open, so it still feels like Christmas. Also try and organise Christmas dinner with people you meet on holiday to make it more enjoyable #HolidayChat

I've never done it before but I'd say go all out and have loads of fun - make it the best Christmas ever! ????? #HolidayChat

If you're going abroad! Make it a Christmas to remember and do something totally different to what you'd normally do! #HolidayChat

Q3) Where is the best Christmas market you have ever visited? Will you be going to one this year, or perhaps you’ve already been somewhere? #HolidayChat

Can I just say that Belgium (my home country) has some amazing Christmas markets, so if you're planning a city trip in December, it's definitely a must! #HolidayChat

Q4) Where’s the best place to go to really get into the Christmas spirit? Any particular must-dos or must-sees whilst you’re there? #HolidayChat

Reykjavik - see the Northern Lights and take a visit to the Blue Lagoon

I’ve never been, but I imagine Lapland or Canada...all the best (cheesiest) Christmas movies are based in Canada, they look like they truly get Christmas #HolidayChat

Canada is incredible in the Autumn and can only imagine its on steroids at Xmas...https://t.co/EcyKjUgUfK
