A young girl perched on a donkey guides a procession with a candle, past the shopsand pedestrians in San Miguel de Allende, New Mexico. The city isalive with colourful piñatas and indigenous poinsettia leaves, as the countdown for the holy day begins. As the parade stops and breaks into a chorus, one will realise that Mary and Joseph’s search for shelter is unfolding in front of their eyes. With December already here, the holiday season is in full swing as people rush to find the perfect Christmas gifts, all while looking to plan a wintery holiday before the clock runs out. From New York to New Zealand, a Christmas of merriment awaits, we just need to pick the right one.

Top 3Christmas Destinations

Whether you pick a holiday that enhances your Yule knowledge and traditions, or one that lets you break into the warmer horizons; when you step away from home for those jingle bells, you will be mightily rewarded with a Christmas gift that you will always cherish. Here are the best places to visit to just such an experience:

1. Amsterdam

The legend of Sinterklaas, or as we know him, Santa Clause, is most experienced in the Dutch capital. Houses dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries are adorned with glittering lights even as December sets in. Hop on the traditionalnoren, long-bladed ice skates, which allow you to have a dash of fun in the outdoor rinks. On New Year’s Eve, wade through Dam squares orNieuwmarkt to catch the fireworks as you sample some bubbling champagne.

2. Munich

The Bavarian capital glows under the magnificent hundredfoot Xmas tree located in Marienplatz. It is surrounded by more than two dozen markets filled with different Christmas offers and treats. This time of the year sees wine and the legendary gingerbread being served on the city tram. From November 25 onwards, the Town Hall showcases live music every evening at 5:30, in tune with the season.

3. Prague

Mala Strana’s historic NerudovaStreet is home to Baroque and Gothic architecture, which is a breathtaking sight, especially during this time of year. The National Theatre and State Operahouses host recitals in light of the festivities. The old Town Square and Wenceslas Square are cast in holiday markets that have an array of exquisite trinkets.
