1) Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland

While legends dating as far back as the 1820s cite the North Pole as the official home of Santa Claus and his jolly missus, the Finns would have us believe otherwise. For them, Rovaniemi, Lapland, located just north of the Arctic Circle, is Christmas HQ. Here, children make gingerbread cookies with Mrs. Claus, enroll in Elf School or take a calligraphy class and compose their Christmas wish lists with a traditional quill.

Our Recommendation: City Hotel Rovaniemi - Rovaniemi, Finland 

2) Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona would be one of the best cities to spend your holiday with its Mediterrenean climate. On 24th of December, you wouldnt freeze and can enjoy the Christmas spirit. If you can extend your vacation, on January 5th, Three Kings Day is celebrated in Barcelona with fireworks and parades.

Our Hotel Recommendation is: Majestic Hotel and Spa - Barcelona, Spain

3) Helsinki, Finland

Helsinki, being one of the most cultural and favorable cities in Europe, is a good choice to spend your holiday. Stepping into a new year in Helsinki would be great since the city is convenient with its both weather and cultural environment for this special day.
Our Recommendation: Original Sokos Hotel Presidentti - Helsinki, Finland

4) New York, USA

Rockefeller Center lies at the core of the New York Christmas. Its famed ice rink has been around for77 years; the decorated tree is an 80-year-old tradition. Across the street, Radio City hosts the annual Christmas Spectacular, starring the Rockettes.Central Park has two ponds for skating and horse-drawn carriage rides.

Our Hotel Recommendation: New Yorker Hotel -  New York, USA

5) Quebec City, Canada
If you're the type who likes to celebrate Christmas around a tree made from recycled sheet metal, withlights powered by the pedaling of nearby cyclists, Quebec is your destination. A haven for environmentally friendly, outdoor enthusiasts, the city bustles with activity, offering holiday programs for all tastes. Modern-day Victorians can enjoy a candlelit evening of stories from Charles Dickens, recounting the Christmas traditions of yore. Sausage and roast chestnut lovers can browse the wares at the German Christmas market. The more religiously inclined can wander an exposition of nativity scenes from around the world.

Our Recommendation: Fairmont Chateau Frontenac Hotel - Quebec City, Canada

6) Reykjavik, Iceland
When it comes to Christmas celebrations, Iceland has a few peculiarities. Among these, 13 "Yuletide Lads" (scruffy Santas) are said to bring gifts to nice children for the 13 nights leading to Christmas. The shopping differs day to day as some craftsmen and designers set up stalls for only one day. Beaming down onto a city covered in snow and Christmas lights, northern lights displays add to Reykjavik's festival feel.

Our Recommendation: Radisson blu 1919 - Reykjavik, Iceland

7) San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Piñatas, posadas and ponche sum up the festivities in this colorful Mexican city, where Christmas is both a solemn and celebratory affair. Piñatas and ponche (a mulled fruit drink) cap a long evening of peregrinations around this cobblestoned city, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its wealth of grand churches, well-preserved architecture and grand zocalos, or sweeping public squares, replete with romance and Old World charm.

Our Hotel Recommendation: Rosewood San Miguel De Allende Hotel - San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

8) Starsbourg, France

Strasbourg's series of themed Christmas villages morph the city into a visual and gastronomic wonderland. Visitors can head to the Village of Alsace Farmhouse to taste prune, apricot and other holiday-inspired variations of farm-fresh foie gras. The nearby Village of Bredle is supplied with its namesake traditional Christmas biscuits and copious amounts of mulled Alsatian wine.

Our Hotel Recommendation: Hilton Strasbourg Hotel - Strasbourg- France
