Rhine Valley, Germany

How about a Christmas river cruise? The Rhine Valley is a delightful destination for a Christmas getaway, with wonderful winter scenes to sail through as you celebrate with like-minded holidaymakers on board an inviting river cruise vessel. Christmas river cruises are especially appealing because at this time of year, the views outside your ship are ever-changing winter wonderlands, adding a little extra touch of winter magic to the festivities. The Rhine Valley is home to some of Europe’s most breathtaking beauty, making it absolutely perfect for a Christmas river cruise.

The Scottish Highlands

This might not be the first place you think of for a Christmas getaway, but Highland resorts such as Fort William are home to some truly beautiful scenery, so if we’re lucky enough to be blessed with a white Christmas this year, Fort William will be a fantastic place from which to enjoy it. And if you choose to celebrate on a Shearings holiday, there’s no need to worry if the weather outside is frightful, because you’ll enjoy the company of fellow holidaymakers in your hotel, with fantastic festive entertainment and, on the big day, you’ll be treated to a delicious four-course traditional Christmas lunch with all the trimmings.

Tyrol, Austria

The Tyrol region of Austria is a truly magical place to take a Christmas holiday, as the streets are festooned with twinkling festive lights and the unmistakable scents of Christmas waft delightfully through the air, creating a unique festive feeling. If you’d like to experience a Christmas with a difference this year, why not try a Tyrolean Christmas getaway with Shearings? You’ll stay in the quaint town of Kufstein, located near Bavaria, where you’ll celebrate Christmas in a charming family-run hotel. Truly magical!

Ilfracombe, England

Now, a Devonshire seaside resort might not immediately spring to mind for Christmas holidays, but if you were to take a Christmas break here, we’re sure you’d be very pleasantly surprised! Picturesque North Devon is truly beautiful in the winter, and, of course, you’ll enjoy that superb Shearings Christmas package, including fantastic festive entertainment and a traditional four-course Christmas lunch!

Costa brava, Spain

Why not turn the heat up for Christmas with a Christmas break to Spain’s golden coast? Shearings can take you to the superb Costa brava resort of Rosas this Christmas, where you’ll find picturesque winter sun beauty and fantastic festive celebrations.
