Christmas is a time of the year that is meant to be spent with family and loved ones. Today, it’s becoming more and more common to spend money on experiences rather than gifts for Christmas. So while Christmas family vacations are on the rise, we will take a look at some of the places Texas residents are visiting for the holiday season.
Here are some of the top Christmas travel destinations:
#1 New York City
Nothing says Christmas more than the Big Apple. With the sights and sounds of the holiday spirit coupled with snow, you cannot get more Christmas than New York, New York. Whether you are touring around Time Square or ice skating at an outdoor park, there is fun for the whole family. New York City is famous for its holiday decorations, including the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and the department store window displays. Ice skating in Central Park or at the Rockefeller Center rink is also a popular activity.
#2 Lapland, Finland
Lapland is the perfect destination for those seeking a winter wonderland experience. Visitors can see the Northern Lights, visit Santa Claus Village, and go dog-sledding or reindeer sleigh-riding.
#3 Quebec City
While it may be located a bit out of the way for Texas natives, it is well worth the travel. The old narrow streets of the city center make it a great sight to see when it is lit up with Christmas lights. It may be a bit too cold for South Texas residents, however, if you are brave enough to enter the land of the Yetis, you will be greatly rewarded! Not to mention the US dollar to the Canadian dollar will save you a ton as the exchange rate currently works in our favor. Quebec City’s Old Town is transformed into a Christmas village during the holiday season. Visitors can enjoy ice-skating, Christmas markets, and festive light displays.
#4 Vienna, Austria
Vienna is known for its Christmas markets, which sell handcrafted goods and traditional treats. Visitors can also attend classical music concerts and enjoy ice skating in front of City Hall.
#5 Amsterdam
If you are leaving North America, look no further than Amsterdam to spend with your family for Christmas. While Amsterdam is more associated with the color green, they mix in red for the holiday festivities. The canals of Amsterdam are lit up with red and green and the view from the bridges is absolutely breathtaking. Although Amsterdam may be seen as the “Sin City” of Europe, I can assure you there is fun for people of all ages.
#6 Strasbourg, France
Strasbourg’s Christmas market is one of the oldest and largest in Europe. Visitors can sample traditional Alsatian foods and browse handmade crafts.
#7 Tokyo, Japan
Although Christmas is not a traditional holiday in Japan, Tokyo still offers a unique holiday experience with its Christmas illuminations and seasonal foods.
These are just a few examples of the many Christmas travel destinations around the world. When choosing a destination, consider the weather, the availability of accommodations, and the local holiday traditions.
As you can see, you have several options for the holiday season.

CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:
We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
- Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
- Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death. Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
