The Best Places to Travel in December 

December can be a wonderful time to travel throughout the U.S. and abroad. The holidays around the world are in full swing which can give you an experience you can’t have any other time of the year. 

If you have some time off this month and would love to discover new places, we have put together a list of the best places to travel in December. 

Pack your bags —- you’re in for a treat!

Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston, SC has been gaining a lot of attention lately as one of the best places to visit in the U.S. and December is no exception. It may just be the ideal time to check out what the city has to offer. 

The weather is perfect this time of year, with cooler temperatures settling in (think the 50s and 60s) — but not the heavy snowfall and ice that you will find in other areas of the country. Christmas and the holidays are at every turn, with holiday markets, parades, tree lighting, fireworks, and various festivals going on throughout the area. 

What’s more, roaming through neighborhoods, you will see some beautifully decorated homes showing you just how festive those in Charleston are. 

Miami, Florida

Looking for a little more sun and a little less cold? Miami is where you will find it. 

Don’t be fooled — just because Miami doesn’t seem like the ideal holiday getaway if you are looking to get festive, it is still a fantastic option. And with the summer heat and the hurricanes gone for the season, you will have the most pleasant experience. 

Art and fashion events (check out Art Basel), as well as the lights at Zoo Miami and a long list of festivals, live performances, and other holiday events, give you the best of both worlds here. Enjoy the sunshine on the beach and see Christmas lights — you will have everything you need for your December. 

Are you ready to make a snowman out of the sand on the beach? Believe it or not, it is possible. 

Branson, Missouri

Branson becomes a holiday wonderland in December. There is no shortage of holiday shows and musical performances. Of course, you can always enjoy dining and shopping, as well as indoor and outdoor adventures — golfing, fishing, the trampoline park, and more. 

If holiday fun is what you are after, Branson will not disappoint. Drive-thru light displays, holiday wagon light tours, carriage rides, parades, festivals, and holiday events make the season bright. They are plentiful so you will surely be able to find one that fits your travel schedule. 

New York City, New York

If you are anywhere in the world and you think about December holiday travel — you think of New York City. Between the Rockettes and the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center, ice skating in Central Park, holiday markets, lighting displays, and all the traditional shopping and dining in NY, you are sure to have a great time. 

The weather can be cold and blustery at times, but it only adds to the adventure. And, if you stick around long enough, you may be able to enjoy the ball drop in Times Square on the last day of the month. 

Visiting NYC during the holidays is on many bucket lists. If it is on yours, perhaps this is your year. 

Salzburg, Austria

Looking to get out of the U.S. and try something new? The top spot for international travel in December is Salzburg

This is where you will find the epitome of Christmas markets — offering unique and handmade gifts, as well as edible goodies and treats. People come from all around the world just for this! Many other events and festivities take place during this time of year that you will want to experience. For instance, a run of Krampuses. A bunch of half-goat, horned demons known as Krampus swarm the area covered in fur — scaring the little ones. Only to be followed by Santa Claus (or St. Nikolaus) with candy. It is all part of their tradition and a sight to see. 

You will find that there are great dining options and various hotspots you won’t want to miss. Just be sure to come prepared for the weather as it can get cold and snowy this time of year. 

Enhance Your December Travel on a Private Jet

What could make a December getaway even better? Getting to and from your destination in style on a luxurious private jet. 

When you choose to charter a private jet for your travel needs, you will find that you open yourself up to some incredible perks that you won’t find anywhere else. These can enhance your overall getaway. 

Think about it — having unpleasant experiences while trying to reach your destination is already going to set your vacation off on the wrong foot. And, well, dealing with issues and challenges getting home can wipe away all the joy you gathered while away. 

Since December is one of the busiest travel times of the year, don’t put your travel plans at risk. Simply book a charter. Here’s what you’ll get — 

  • Flexibility in choosing your date and time of travel, allowing you to make the most of your vacation time. 
  • Straight-through flights with no connections. 
  • Luxurious, comfortable, and private accommodations on board the jet. 
  • No long check-in lines or TSA security lines to stand in. 
  • Fewer restrictions on baggage and what you can bring with you. 
  • Personalized enhancements to make your flight most enjoyable. 
  • Easy access to smaller, private airports, allowing you to avoid the crowds.
  • Time-saving as you won’t need to arrive hours before your flight, but rather just a few minutes before it is set to depart.
