Any suggestions where to go with our 17 year old son over Christmas break.
He is not keen on weather being too hot. Open to City Break or week long trip. All Inclusive preferably

What kind of budget? How about New York or Universal in Florida?

I started looking at that myself, but then gave up on my searches. Would you have advice on the best way to go about booking a holiday to either New York or indeed Florida. NewYork might be too cold at that time of year, but definately on the bucket list

@dawnsurprise what interests DS? New York might well be cold. All inclusive limits you to beach resorts - would he be bored? If not Mexico, Caribbean and Florida I guess would work. Christmas will cost you though ! We have used Families worldwide when dc were younger and they sort over thing for you. They have ideas for Christmas.

NY will be bitter cold. If you’re going cold you might as well go Iceland for the Aurora and puffins. Or Scandinavia.

Skiing?

Cruise?

Iceland. Our DC favourite as teens. We went early Jan,

@MrsTerryPratchett Puffins are at sea in the autumn and winter. So no puffins to see at Christmas.

I will admit to being a tiny bit facetious. I added puffins to try (and fail) comedy.
