We get it. You love a good Chrimbo celebration. But tradition-schmadition, right?! We say you take that festive time and make it EVEN better by booking a scorchin' hot trip away, so you can enjoy those pigs-in-blankets in the sun. You might even strike lucky and get a Christmas dinner at the all-inclusive buffet, which means as many bacon-wrapped sausages as you can stomach. Now that's a dangerous but exciting game. Of course, it also means you can go for a dunk in the pool afterwards instead of being forced into 'fun' family board games and quizzes. You're welcome.

There are plenty of places serving up a healthy dash of winter sun, but if you really want to go all-out, it has to be Dubai. And if we're talking specifics, then Radisson Blu Resort, Fujairah has loads to sing and dance about, with the longest beach along the East Coast, ocean views from every room, and 5 pools to dip into. Best Christmas prezzie ever, are we right or are we right?!

Popular Christmas getaways

In case you missed the memo, Christmas holidays don't have to mean cold weather (not unless you want them to), which is why we're all in favour of a bit of beach time in December. The good news is, while you're scraping the ice off your car and pouring the water from your wellies for the 50th time, sunshine is actually only a few hours away! Cyprus has over 320 days of sunshine each year (rub it in why don't you), which makes it a 10/10 pick for a warm winter break. Tenerife is up there too, with year-round sun and plenty of restaurants open on Christmas Day, while Malta has a more traditional vibe with temperatures at the perfect in-between.

Long haul Christmas holidays

If you're not one to shy away from a long flight (and honestly, when there's a hot meal, a snuggly blanket, a neck pillow and a bunch of films and TV shows at your fingertips, who's to complain?), then long-haul Christmas jollies are where it's at. Whether you're whisking the whole fam away for some Florida fun, diving into the glitz and glam of Dubai, or donning your skimpiest swimwear somewhere in the Caribbean, we've got the perfect picks to level-up your festive celebrations this year. We're talking more palm trees than fir trees, sandcastles over snow angels, and cocktails over mulled wine. Who said Christmas can't be exotic?
