Once-in-a-lifetime Christmas experience
Ancient myths claim that cats have nine lives, but unfortunately we (people) only have one and therefore we try to live our lives to the fullest. If you like to travel, what would be that special place that you would like to experience at least once?
Traveling especially during the holiday season, like Christmas, already feels kind of special, but here are 5 once-in-a-lifetime Christmas experiences you might want to add to your future travel list.
Incredible moments to live once in your life during December
Dine in a life-size gingerbread house
Where can I experience this? Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, United States
We’ve all seen these miniature edible houses during the holiday season, but believe it or not, yes, there actually is a life-size gingerbread house where guests can dine at the Fairmont Hotel in downtown San Francisco. However, the private dining experience in the 22-foot-tall, 23-foot-wide structure is specially priced and reservations are by appointment only.
Staying in a hotel made of ice
Where can I experience this? IceHotel in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden
How about sleeping in a room made with beautiful hand-carved artistic art sculptures made of snow and ice? The IceHotel in Jukkasjärvi in northern Sweden was one of the first hotels made of ice. The temperature is kept between -5 and -7 degrees Celsius, but it is generally recommended to stay in one of the “cold rooms” for one night only. The establishment also has traditional hotel environments (“warm rooms”) where guests can stay for the remainder of their stay.
Visiting Santa Claus in snowy Dubai
Where can I experience this? Ski Dubai in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Wait! Did you say it snows in Dubai? Can I also visit Santa Claus there? If you can! Where else can you find a winter wonderland in the heart of the desert? This one-of-a-kind indoor ski park, Ski Dubai, is located in the Mall of Emirates and for a limited time only in December, you can pay Santa a special visit in his slope-side grotto.
Christmas Wonderland between the magical Supertree
Where can I experience this? Gardens by the Bay Singapore
Of course, for Singaporeans, Christmas Wonderland, held at Gardens by the Bay, is a must-see Christmas experience. Although missed during 2020 due to the global pandemic, this annual event in Singapore is packed with attractions. Get your camera ready to stand among those tall, magical supertrees and witness their lights dance to the wonderful Christmas music.
Relax in a private water villa
Where can I experience this? the maldives
Especially when it’s Christmas, why don’t you treat yourself by booking that flight to a destination you’ve always dreamed of? How about a white Christmas (sandy beach) or relaxing in your own private villa surrounded by crystal clear water in the Maldives? Many of the resorts have special Christmas events, so be sure to choose one that meets your ideal once-in-a-lifetime Christmas vacation.
Plan your own once-in-a-lifetime travel experience
Found a travel destination that you want to add to your wish list now?
While Christmas is typically considered one of the peak travel seasons of the year, also keep in mind that most of these destinations begin their holiday celebration at the beginning of the month. Also, some destinations have other special events during a different time of the year. When it comes to planning a vacation, there are many things to consider, but hopefully BudgetAir can help with one of those steps when it comes to comparing and searching for great flight deals.
