Christmas Holidays 2025
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, so why not make the festive season even better by booking a Christmas holiday? Whether you want a short city break for a change of scenery, or a winter sun holiday on the beach to escape the hustle and bustle, there are plenty of destinations for you to choose to round off the year in style.
With the kids off school and a few bank holidays over Christmas, you might as well use up the last of your annual leave and treat yourself to a December holiday. You’ll be the envy of the office, the kids will be the envy of the playground, and you’ll all come back with stories to tell, a relaxed mind and maybe even a tan.

Why have a christmas city break?
The shopping:
If you’re struggling to find gift inspiration for your loved ones, why not pick up some great presents on a Christmas city break? Whether you want to see the decorative window displays in New York’s department stores or explore the European Christmas markets, you can find cheap Christmas holidays with icelolly.com.
The sights:
If you’re visiting a colder region, wrap up warm and explore the city, before warming yourself up with a mulled wine or beer. If drinking isn’t you’re thing, you can enjoy a delicious hot chocolate or sample the local cuisine. If you’re travelling to a warmer destination, trade in your winter woollies and wet-weather wellies and discover the tourist attractions without the long queues of peak season.
The price:
With Christmas holiday flights sometimes costing less than a train ticket to London, and the usually lower cost of living abroad, why wouldn’t you take the opportunity to get away? It can be cheaper than staying at home!
Why have a christmas winter sun holiday?
If you’d rather swap Christmas trees for palm trees and play in the sand instead of the snow, a Christmas holiday deal in the sun is for you!
The novelty:
Sometimes the same old traditions can become boring and you need a bit of a change to bring the fun back. Imagine having Christmas dinner outside or swapping presents on the beach - the possibilities are endless!
The weather:
Escape the chaos and the cold of the British festive season and spend your Christmas holidays relaxing by the pool and recharging your batteries for the new year. Tenerife is the ideal budget destination for a sunny Christmas getaway, with temperatures in the mid-20s throughout December and plenty of festive entertainment on offer.
