 | From Kim Knox Beckius, your About Travel & Getaways Editor Greetings, Travelers! It's the most wonderful time of the year... for traveling! This week, our Guides will help you plan a festive getaway, whether you want to whisper in Santa's ear, ride something wilder than a sleigh, swelter at a holiday light show or watch wise men in action. ~Kim | |
Don't Wait for Santa Claus to Come to Town
Take your kids to visit him in a place that's far more magical than your local mall. From North Pole, New York, to Hersheypark's Christmas Candylane, here are some great places to travel for a memorable visit with the dude in the red suit.
| Oh, What Fun It Is to Ride!
More and more theme parks are extending their seasons through the holidays--even parks in snowy places where the mercury dips well below freezing! Want to know where to find bazillions of twinkling lights, visits from St. Nick, elaborate holiday-themed stage shows and, yes, coasters and other rides amid winter's chill? Put on your thermal-lined Santa cap and peruse this guide to Christmas at theme parks.
| Christmas in the Tropics
You won't find snow in Singapore this December... unless you count the soap flakes one mall showers on patrons! And Santa's fur-trimmed suit sure seems out of place in the tropical heat. But, that doesn't keep this Asian nation from celebrating Christmas with blazing lights, Yuletide shows, shopping promotions and year-end countdown parties galore.
| See a Living Nativity in Italy
Living nativity scenes, presepi viventi, are found in many parts of Italy both at Christmas and again around the time of the January 6 Epiphany. Here's your guide to the best places to observe as the Christmas story is brought to life by as many as 500 costumed participants.More Festive Getaways Below
