MERRY & MARRIED: YOUR GUIDE TO A ROMANTIC HOLIDAY HONEYMOON

A romantic holiday honeymoon combines the magic of the festive season with the joy of newlywed bliss. Imagine twinkling lights, snowy backdrops, or tropical beaches adorned with holiday decor—it’s a dreamy time for couples to celebrate their new life together. Whether you envision a winter wonderland or a sun-soaked retreat, here's how to make your December honeymoon both romantic and stress-free.

1. Pick the Perfect Destination

Your destination sets the tone for your holiday honeymoon. Consider these options:

• Winter Wonderland: Cozy up in destinations like Aspen, Switzerland, or Iceland. Think roaring fires, snowy landscapes, and mulled wine.

• Tropical Escape: Enjoy festive vibes in warm locales like the Maldives, Hawaii, or the Caribbean. Imagine holiday cocktails by the beach!

• Festive Cities: Cities like Vienna, New York, or Quebec City come alive during the holidays with Christmas markets, lights, and cultural events.

2. Book Early to Avoid Holiday Crowds

December is a busy travel season, so secure your flights, accommodations, and activities as soon as possible. Opt for boutique hotels or private villas for a more intimate experience. A travel expert can help you find hidden gems away from the bustling crowds.

3. Embrace the Festive Spirit

Incorporate holiday magic into your honeymoon:

• Attend Local Festivities: Visit Christmas markets, enjoy holiday concerts, or participate in cultural celebrations.

• Holiday Treats: Savor seasonal specialties, whether it’s eggnog in a ski lodge or tropical fruit cocktails on a beach.

• Create Traditions: Start a tradition, like exchanging ornaments or toasting with a special drink during sunset.

4. Pack Thoughtfully for the Season

The key to a smooth holiday honeymoon is packing smart:

• For Cold Destinations: Bring layers, warm accessories, and cozy footwear.

• For Warm Destinations: Include breezy outfits, sunscreen, and festive attire for holiday dinners.

• Romantic Touches: Pack items like candles, a playlist of your favorite songs, or matching pajamas for a personal touch.

5. Plan for Relaxation and Adventure

Balance your honeymoon with downtime and exciting experiences:

• Relaxation: Schedule spa days, lazy mornings, and quiet dinners.

• Adventure: Go skiing, snorkeling, or explore local landmarks. Many destinations offer seasonal activities like sleigh rides or guided tours.

6. Capture the Moment

The holiday season makes for stunning photos. Take snapshots of festive decor, romantic moments by the fire, or sunsets on the beach. These will become cherished memories of your first holiday season as a married couple.

7. Consider a Holiday Package

Many resorts and destinations offer special holiday-themed honeymoon packages, including festive meals, seasonal activities, and decorations.
