Summertime Christmas in Capetown

This is a romantic Christmas getaway you will need to pack the bathing suits and sunscreen for. Christmas falls right in the middle of summer in the southern hemisphere and the beaches are the perfect reprieve from the ice and snow back home.

Capetown’s beaches are great for relaxing and soaking up the rays. When you are ready for a break from the beach, try a romantic meal at Buitenverwachting or Catharinas. Or pack a picnic basket and some bubbly and head up Chapman’s Peak Drive to watch the sunset over Hout Bay.

An Urban Asian Christmas

Christmas falls at the coolest time of year in Bangkok, which means it is a great time to visit this popular Asian city. The temperatures still sit in the 70s and 80s most days, but without the sweltering sunshine that comes in the hot season or the monsoon rains of the rainy season.

There’s plenty of Christmas cheer in the Big Mango, with many of the malls decked to the nines in Christmas decor and plenty of hotels offering fabulous Christmas brunches and Christmas Eve dinners. Check out the Christmas display at Central World and the brunch at Anantara Riverside.
