Have Yourself a Reggae Reggae Christmas
Fancy a Christmas with all the thrills but without all those wintery chills? Jamaica offers the perfect mix of Caribbean luxury and sunshine vibes, so swap your snow boots for your bikini, your mittens for your mojitos and check out just three of the reasons why Jamaica will have you rockin’ around the Christmas palm tree this 2012.
Montego Bay
Head to Montego Bay for the ultimate winter chill – it’s a relaxation hotspot, with stunning stretches of sandy beaches meeting crystal clear waters alongside a vibrant strip of bustling bars and shops. And if this isn’t enough of an enticement, you’ll be pleased to discover that Christmas is a time of feasting in Jamaica, which means it’s time to treat your taste buds to rum soaked plum puddings and mouth watering slow cooked cured ham.
Bored of the beaches? Montego Bay’s Golf Courses will ensure your Christmas is above par, or take a drive to Port Antonio where you can bathe in the beautiful Blue Lagoon or raft on the Rio Grande.
Once the sun goes down its time to put your jingle bells on and dance the night away. The whole of Jamaica is infused with an authentic reggae beat, but the live bars around Gloucester Avenue are sure to have you tapping your toes to a whole new rhythm.
Runaway Bay
The tiny resort of Runaway Bay is famous for being ultra peaceful and is best for those looking for the quieter Christmas.
The Caribbean’s answer to Santa’s Grotto is the Green Grotto Caves. These large limestone rocks are rich in history, plus the striking stalactites and stalagmites are well worth the trip underground.
Over on the western coast of Jamaica is the infamous Seven Mile Beach. Laid back vibes and beach bars by day, followed by lavish dishes and world-class DJ’s by night are just ideal for curing those winter blues.
When you’re not relaxing by the shore and dreaming of a white sandy Christmas, have a go at snorkelling to experience all the magical colours of the Caribbean Sea.
Even the accommodation in Jamaica is stress-free; most of the villas are smaller than the average palm tree which means this Caribbean country really is the perfect holiday hideaway.

Don’t Suffer in The Snow
It’s nearly time for the ski season to begin and hitting the slopes is a great way to spend the winter months. But is your body ready? Whether you’re a seasoned snowboarder or a complete novice, ABTA has highlighted the importance of getting fit before tackling those mountains.
Recent research has revealed that 39% of people who enjoy winter sports have injured themselves at least once, so it’s important to get in shape and warm up properly before stepping out into the snow.
Not only will upping your exercise regime help your holiday remain injury free, but you’ll be able to ski longer and board harder, so it’s definitely worth considering.
You can check out ABTA’s handy leaflet and Winter Sports Checklist here.
A shocking 31% of people don’t take out travel insurance with winter sports cover. To make sure you avoid those expensive medical bills and for peace of mind, we offer insurance with all our winter sports holidays. So break out those bobble hats, conquer those mountains and have a blast this winter.
