Whether you’re dreaming of a white Christmas or a warm-weather one (hey, string lights don’t have to be limited to evergreens), there’s one thing you absolutely need:a vacation. Instead of hosting the whole extended family or sleeping on a trundle at your mom’s (not to mention stressing about big batch recipes for a crowd), why not get out of town to one of the 11 best Christmas resorts that know how to do holiday cheer? Below, I’ve rounded up both domestic and international getaways, from the all-inclusive Mohonk Mountain House in New York’s Hudson Valley to Beaverbrook, a hidden gem in Surrey, England, that will delight fans of The Holiday. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, family or with a pack of friends, each property promises rest, relaxation and seasonal festivities. Time to pack your suitcases.
