Gong to be one of those very unclear post since not sure what I want really - think i want a fictious christmas destination.
Adult daughters (24 and26) would like to go away next year ( and me!) They are keen on New York - this would possibly be doable but I am not sure if it will be christmassy enough for me. I would like somewhere like the town in white christmas with bing crosby singing to me and i am wrapped in a fur ( fake ) with clean fluffy snow - no slush, easy to get to, no driving, not a ski destination I dont think, warm cosy pubs with lovely christmas dinners, with people not too crowded, sleigh rides and twinkly lights. This is my fantasy obviously so will I like New York? What about Boston? Cape code? ( friend told me this was fab)
Needs to be only one flight since will probably only have about 4/5 days. Don' t think I want Europe since am a bit christmas market done out. So think New York or that side of america or even somewhere very christmassy in uk but dont think my daughters would be mad keen on that so may leave that until they are not with us.
Sorry for not being very clear. Any suggestions welcome.
I don’t think Boston fits the bill. No snow there at the moment, and not really a hugely Christmassy feel, IMO. I’m not sure about Cape Cod - Christmas as the seaside in the cold doesn’t sound like what you are looking for. Maybe something in the mountains would be better.
Just to add we were in Provincetown on Cape Cod in October and a lot of restaurants and bars were shutting for the season, so it you would need to check what was open before choosing where to stay.
DS is currently in NY for Christmas and New Uear. He's having a fabulous time but said Christmas Day didnt feel right and wasn't Christmassy. He would go back at any other time but not for the actual day.
Not what you've asked for at all but I went to Venice for christmas a few years ago and it was an amazing time to be in Venice because it wasn't busy. Churches open etc for xmas music, aperol spritz in little bars, cheese and meats in cosy airbnb, atmospheric walks. Cold but bright. Highly recommend
A friend is currently in Aspen and from the pics he has sent us, everything looks ridiculously Christmassy, pretty much like the set of Christmas movie.
