Inspiration for a holiday over New Year

3 replies

Hi! After a glum Christmas holiday I want to do better next year and get away. I'm looking for inspiration of where we can go over Christmas and/or New Year (we will be a group of 3 families with kids ages 5-10). I'm envisaging a cozy place with activities insid and also some outside activities which are accessible in winter, maybe some snow too? Or maybe a good resort. Ideally in Europe.

There's so many options of places to stay I have lost the overview. Or maybe you have a better idea! So what has worked for you over the Christmas/winter holidays (or a place you've been in summer that you think can also work for a winter holiday?) Help me get out of this planning rut!

The Scottish Highlands? Loads of options to suit various budgets and depending on where you pick you're likely to get snow!:

Aviemore Christmas & New Year | Macdonald Aviemore Resort

Ben Nevis Holiday Park - Highland Holidays

Moness Resort - Spa and Activity Breaks - Perthshire Scotland

If budget is not an issue, go to the ice hotel in Sweden - absolutely magical!

The ice hotel in Sweden looks amazing! But maybe a bit out of budget. Also the Scottish highlands! Wow. Maybe I should have shared that 2 of the families do not live in the UK, but keep the ideas coming. This is great inspiration - and maybe serves as inspiration for others too, so does not need to just satisfy my requirements.
