New Year and Christmas holidays is a great occasion to travel somewhere. You can either go somewhere with you family or friends, or even alone. Are you planning a winter trip? If so, you might find there are plenty of suggestions for summer hotspots, but good suggestions for the winter months are harder to find. So here are four suggestions for a winter break – and if you’re finding it difficult to choose, we’ve packed them all up into one fantastic round the world holiday too.

Iceland is considered a go-to destination when thinking about a wintry trip – perhaps unfairly because it is equally amazing during the summer time. A winter visit promises longer nights which give you a better (never guaranteed) chance of seeing the spectacular Aurora Borealis – the Northern Lights.

New York is an all-time favourite for wintry city breaks when you’ll find many twinkling Christmas lights, festive windows and pop-up ice rinks combine to instil heart-warming sentiment capable of offsetting the seasonal chill.
