8 Christmas Vacation Ideas for 2019

What could be better than spending Christmas time on a vacation and spend those holidays with your family and friends? There are dozens of countries and places that make for some great vacation ideas. While some of them are affordable, others can be very expensive and beyond your budget. 

Well, do not let funds get in the way of your vacation, and all you need to do is take out some loans. Even if you do not have a good credit score, you can still secure a loan quickly to take your family on that perfect Christmas vacation. 

 A Christmas vacation in Dubai
The best time to visit Dubai is during winters, and holidaying in the opulent city can be expensive. However, there are sufficient accommodations where one can stay and enjoy the top-notch sites and amazing venues for shopping and beaches. There is always a lot to do in Dubai for all kinds of travelers and never a dull moment. 

Christmas fun in Copenhagen
Copenhagen may be small, but it is the most charming and welcoming town. Walk on those streets that get lit up by a million lights and where ever you go, there are well, lit and decorated Christmas trees. It is indeed one of the most vibrant spots to be at during Christmas time.

 Relaxing Christmas in Costa Rica
Tamarindo, the tourist-friendly resort town, makes for a relaxing time during Christmas. You can explore the city and those National Parks and volcanoes at your own pace. Make your trip as relaxed as you want and with no fuss. You can spend some time in the ocean and make sure your holiday well spent.

An appealing Christmas in Salzburg
Salzburg in Austria is world-famous for its Alpine scenery. It is also the home town of Mozart, the icon of musical heritage. Explore the country’s Baroque architecture and festive market, and what adds to the appeal of the town is the frequent dusting of snow. It is indeed one of the best places to plan your Christmas vacation.

 Christmas on the beaches of Montego Bay
Head for Montego Bay, Jamaica, this year for Christmas vacation. You will love the lowkey destination where you can have a fun and relaxed time with your family and Christmas. Go on a shopping spree or explore the natural splendor of Montego Bay. Float on the Martha Brae River or dive in to explore the underwater caves.

Christmas treats in Nuremberg
Nuremberg, located in Germany is world-famous for its Christmas markets. It is indeed fun to explore those colorful and vibrant markets selling trinkets, toys, and gingerbread treats. There are hundreds of stalls where you can shop for Christmas presents and other gifts for yourself and for your loved ones.

A tropical Christmas in Puerto Vallarta
Be in Puerto Vallarta to get away from the winery chill and enjoy Christmas in warmer temperatures. Stay at one of the authentic resort areas and explore various vacation spots. Enjoy the holiday season at the tropical Christmas getaway, and immerse yourself in the joy of shopping and enjoying the regional cuisine.

Warm and sunny Christmas in Tenerife
The winter travelers can make way towards the island of Tenerife and can look forward to enjoying a very warm Christmas. Tenerife islanders are known to be very friendly. Christmas here is going to be very different from what you have seen. Soak up as much sun as you want and go to the church and later enjoy a lovely Christmas dinner with a Spanish family.

There could be many more options added to the list of countries where one can plan a Christmas holiday, such as Indonesia, Egypt, Thailand, India, and more. Book your flights and hotels well in advance to lower the cost of your vacation.
