A holiday trip often begins with one shared wish: more time together. The details deserve an early place in the conversation, too. A family cooking experience in Italy, a suite in New York or a coastal stay in Florida each asks for a different approach to the season. This selection brings together destinations and partners for Christmas 2026 and the welcome to 2027, with private journeys in Spain and Portugal adding another possibility. Thoughtful transport completes the picture, helping travel advisors connect the celebrations with the practical arrangements that make them enjoyable.
The Palm Beaches
Holiday lights with an Atlantic breeze
In The Palm Beaches, the festive season leaves room for beach walks and outdoor lunches. Florida’s Atlantic coast takes on a seasonal glow through waterfront celebrations, shopping streets and family outings.
CityPlace in West Palm Beach has announced nightly snowfall displays for November 14 through December 31, 2026, while Delray Beach’s Christmas tree lighting and Yuletide Street Fair take place on December 1. Between celebrations, Worth Avenue, cultural visits and time by the water give the trip an easy daytime rhythm.
The destination’s mix of beachfront resorts and smaller hotels allows the stay to reflect each family’s style. For travel advisors planning Christmas and New Year’s escapes, the interest is in combining festive evenings with days that still feel like a coastal vacation.
