The holidays are filled with great wonder and excitement. Between lights and décor, music and togetherness, holidays warm your heart and fill your days with joy. This year I have told my extended family and kids that we are minimizing the zillion presents under the tree for more activities that we share together. What better way to share togetherness than exploring a new destination. Here is a list of locations that are perfect for the holiday season, without giving up the traditions.
Disney World
The second largest ski resort in the U.S., Big Sky Resort is known for its laid-back attitude and its short ski-lift lines. You will rarely wait for a chair on the mountain and, with so many slopeside lodges, you are always walking distance form a lift. Big Sky Resort is ideal for families, offering great ski lessons for the kiddos. Big Sky purchased its sister resort Moonlight Basin, making the stay at Big Sky a never-ending exploration. With its interconnecting lifts and trails, skiers and snowboarders can jump back and forth between ski areas.

Take a Cruise
It’s the perfect time of the year to unwind with a holiday cruise during your winter break. In fact, Christmas cruises are among the most popular family getaways for all generations to enjoy offering an on-board experience that will make you feel right at home.

Also, a traditional Christmas dinner is prepared just for you, and there’s no clean up!
All-Inclusive
All-inclusive resorts are always a great way to spend your holidays. So many resorts cater to educated children’s programs and cultural activities that gives your kiddos real world experience away from home. Parents also really enjoy taking their picky eaters to all-inclusive resorts so that their children can experience different foods without the extra cost of ordering a new meal. Besides, what parent doesn’t enjoy watching those little smiley faces while they splash around in a warm pool?
