Christmas Abroad

    Myself and the wife are toying with the idea of going away for Christmas this year (if restrictions allow). We figure things won't be fully back to normal here anyway so we won't be missing out on too much. With that in mind, anyone got any good locations for Christmas abroad? We're not fussed on getting a turkey dinner anywhere but would just like to go somewhere where we know everything won't be shut for a few days. I figure this likely means a non-Christian country like Morocco maybe. Would also consider Rome but not sure if the place would be a ghost town on Christmas Day.

    Well, we're in the same boat except we're a party of 8, - if you're not worried about heat, well then you've loads of options. We want warm weather (20+) so we've narrowed it down to dubai or tenerife within a 9 hour flight radius.

    Morocco definitely looks cool, I'll admit I'm always that bit cautious of Africa I can't help it, egypt looks nice too near sharm el sheikh.

    We were supposed to go to Florida at Christmas but that looks like a non runner.

    Heat isn't a top priority but would prefer to avoid places which would be colder than here. Definitely wouldn't want to go to Dubai but we did think about Tenerife, main worry would just be that a lot of places would be shut on Christmas Day/St Stephens.

    I was in Tenerife for Christmas 2020. The majority of places were open and it was business as usual. Had a ball.

    Myself and my wife love to spend christmas in the Caribbean. Hard to beat chrismas dinner on the beach:) We have hit Aruba, Cayman Islands and Turks and Caicos all pre pandemic so far. The best trip though was Central American the December before the pandemic when we went to Belize and Guatemala. Not seeing a trip like that this christmas yet though probably still too early with the pandemic. Maybe christmas 2022 I hope.
