Dining in an actual life-sized Gingerbread House
Where can I experience this? Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, United States
We've all seen these miniature edible houses during the Christmas season, but believe it or not, yes, there is actually a life-sized gingerbread house where guests can dine-in at the Fairmont Hotel, in downtown San Francisco. The private dining experience in the 22 ft high 23 ft wide structure, however, comes with a special price and reservations are by appointment only.
Staying in a hotel made out 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 out of snow and ice? The IceHotel in Jukkasjärvi, Northern Sweden was one of the first hotels made out of ice. The temperature is kept at -5 to -7 degrees Celsius, but it's typically recommended to stay in one of the 'cold rooms' only for one-night. The establishment also have traditional hotel settings ('warm rooms') where the guests can stay for the remaining time of the stay.
Visiting Santa Claus in snowy Dubai
Where can I experience this? Ski Dubai in Dubai, United Arab Of Emirates
Wait! Did you say that it snows in Dubai? Also I can visit Santa Claus there? Yes, 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 only for a limited time in December, you can pay Santa a special visit in his grotto next to the slope.
Christmas Wonderland among the magical Supertree
Where can I experience this? Gardens by the Bay in Singapore
Of course for Singaporeans Christmas Wonderland held at the Gardens by the Bay is a must-visit holiday experience. Although it was missed during 2020 due to the global pandemic, this annual event in Singapore is full of attractions. Get your camera ready to stand among those tall magical Supertrees and witness its lights dancing to wonderful holiday music.
Relaxing at a private water villa
Where can I experience this? The Maldives
Especially when it's Christmas, why don't you pamper yourself by booking that flight to a destination you've always dreamed about? How about a white (sandy beach) Christmas or relaxing in your own private water villa surrounded by the clear crystal blue waters in the Maldives? Many of the resorts have special Christmas events so make sure to choose one that will fulfill your ideal once-in-a-lifetime Christmas holiday.
Plan you own once-in-a-lifetime travel experience
Did you find a travel destination that you want to now add to your bucket list?
Although normally Christmas is considered to be one of the peak travel seasons of the year, also think that most of these destinations start their Christmas venue earlier in the month. Also some destinations have other special events during a different time of the year. When it comes to planning a holiday, there are a lot of things to consider, but hopefully BudgetAir can help one of those steps when it comes to comparing and looking for great flight deals.
