Christmas getaways represent a rare opportunity for families who like to travel. Whether your kids are toddlers, teens, or all grown up, you can usually count on some time off from school and work for everyone to gather in one place. If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas (whether snow or sand), here’s where to go for Christmas.

1. San Antonio

For hundreds of years, the home of the Alamo has adorned its iconic River Walk with Mexican Christmas lanterns believed to help light the way for the Holy Family. Families visiting San Antonio for Christmas vacations between mid-November and mid-January can immerse themselves in this awe-inspiring tradition either by foot or boat with Go Rio Cruises, a kid-friendly tour operator that even lets you stow strollers on board. The holiday magic continues at The DoSeum, San Antonio’s kids’ museum, which hosts an elaborate Winter Wonderland event once a year.

2. Puerto Rico

Beginning the day after Thanksgiving and ending weeks after New Year’s Day, Puerto Rico’s Christmas celebrations comprise colorful street parties, boat parades, lights, lively music, and holiday dishes. San Juan is at the heart of Puerto Rico’s seasonal festivities. The city’s waterfront amphitheater, Bahia Urbana, becomes Navitown, a Christmas-themed carnival with rides, whimsical decorations, and a special rendition of Santa’s Workshop.

3. German Christmas Markets

Nowhere else in the world does Christmas vacations quite like Germany. The birthplace of the Christkindlmarkt could easily light up a map with its sheer number of Christmas markets, each commingled(使…混合) with intricate wooden huts selling everything from handcrafted toys and ornaments to fresh-cooked delicacies and warm gluhwein. Moreover, Dresden are particularly well-regarded for their authenticity and kid-friendly atmosphere. Try a European river cruise: Family-favorite guided tour company Adventures by Disney has both Rhine and Danube Christmas market cruises.

4. St. Augustine, Florida

America’s oldest city, St. Augustine, has had a lot of time to build upon its Christmas traditions over the years. The city’s annual Night of Lights event, during which three million white lights illuminate the historic district from mid-November to late January, has been recognized as one of the world’s top light displays. Landmark attractions such as the Castillo de San Marcos and the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum are also incorporated into the city’s Christmas experiences.

5. South Tyrol, Italy

Surrounded amongst fairy tale towns like Bolzano and Merano, dramatic views of the Dolomites and Italian Alps serve as the backdrop to South Tyrol’s Christmas markets. Adding to the region’s charm is its melding(融合) of Italian, German, Austrian, and Ladin (native Dolomiten) cultures. Families will enjoy chowing down on Tyrolean goulash, strudels, and other diverse specialties while relishing the local scenery, history, and traditions. Bonus: The region is also known for some of Europe’s best skiing.
