With the growing popularity of travel and the boredom that often comes with the monotony of the holiday season, taking that special Christmas holiday has become the new black for the tourism industry. With budget airlines flying everything from short to long haul and a rise in the number of websites offering popular hotels at budget rates there has never been a better time to make the Christmas escape dream a reality. Increasingly people are flocking to the US to celebrate Christmas in style, so below is a guide to the main US destinations for Christmas:


New York

A perennial favorite, New York’s special blend of American style hospitality, shopping choice and stunning attractions makes this the only place to celebrate Christmas in style. From the lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree to catching a show on Broadway or twilight cruise around Manhattan, New York will make a Christmas you will never forget, that is, of course, if you can escape the allure of the shops.

Las Vegas

Ah the city of sin, Las Vegas, where else to enjoy the season of indulgence but in this US desert oasis of vice.

For a non-traditional Christmas away from it all and where nothing is closed, Las Vegas is the ultimate solution.
