Many people consider visiting London in December to be a bad idea, but it is exactly the opposite! Yes, the weather is cold, but the magic of London’s winter will definitely pay off the pains of the heavy clothes. The Christmas lights sparkling over the city’s streets and the frenzied people looking for the perfect gift – there is nothing quite like it. The carol singing around the Christmas tree on Trafalgar Square or ice skating on the incredible outdoor rinks, the opportunities are endless and the Christmas spirit is in full swing. Getting bigger and better every year, the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is the most magnificent festive event with lots of foods and drinks, shopping stalls and numerous activities. There is nothing like spending the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, walking around London’s streets and celebrating with the locals English-style!

Expecting almost 24 hours of daylight, December in Antarctica is an experience of a lifetime. High summer months with the warmest temperatures possible, there is no better time to visit the southernmost continent. Christmas in Antarctica among the penguins, seals and seabirds is almost fairy tale-like. The hungry humpback whales are arriving and the penguin chicks begin to hatch, and marvelling at the incredible wildlife will inspire and leave you in awe for a long time. The pristine landscapes before you will definitely make you feel the privilege of being in that exact spot at that exact time!
