Where to Holiday in December

December in Britain may be a dark, dank month but the twinkly lights of Christmas and the general good cheer does much to alleviate the mood, at least for lovers of the season of goodwill. For those who hate the onset of festivities with the ever-present Slade provided by the retailers, the decorations and the carol singers, the gift shopping and the work's party, December is definitely the time to book a holiday. This particular group are looking for a place to get away from it all and to find a holiday in the sun.

Somewhere Hot in December

So where to go? If you enjoy a temperate climate, the Canary Islands will suffice with temperatures in the low to mid-twenties. Dubai and Egypt are also very pleasant but if you are looking for hot sunshine a long haul holiday is necessary. Travel either east or west and you'll find some wonderful spots. December is great time for a beach holiday on the west coast of Thailand or Malaysia, or to find a romantic hideaway in Bali. The weather in Kenya and in South Africa is ideal in December, both for safaris and relaxing by the coast. Travel to the west for the Americas and the Caribbean. Here you can have beach holidays as well as ski holidays as the snows have arrived in the north and in Canada and the season has begun. You won't be able to hide from Christmas altogether, but you may at least escape from Slade.
