Three Destinations, One Season of Wonder
Three Destinations, One Season of Wonder
When the year begins to fade into lights and laughter, the world seems to slow down, inviting you to travel differently. To trade the rush of routine for the rhythm of discovery, to swap crowds for connection, and to let moments unfold at their own pace.
This Christmas, let Great Excapes take you somewhere the season still feels magical: across Scotland’s misty highlands, Ireland’s story-filled coastlines, and London’s sparkling skyline.
Scotland – Its Where Winter Feels Timeless
Scotland in December is pure enchantment - castles aglow, streets lined with twinkling lights, and landscapes dusted in white.
Wander through Edinburgh’s Christmas Market, where the scent of cinnamon, fudge, and whisky fills the air. Take a quiet walk along the snowy paths of the Highlands or warm up beside a roaring fire in a historic inn.
Scotland’s Christmas spirit lies in its contrasts, grand and intimate, ancient and alive, wintery yet full of warmth.
Ireland – The Heartbeat of the Holidays
Ireland wears Christmas like a smile - easy, genuine, and welcoming.
Dublin’s Grafton Street shines beneath golden lights while carolers sing in harmony with the hum of the city. Venture west toward Galway’s Christmas Market, where laughter spills through wooden chalets and local crafts fill every corner.
And when you reach the coast, let the Atlantic winds and flickering pub fireplaces remind you what true warmth feels like.
London – A Story Told in Lights
In December, London transforms into a stage of sparkle. From Covent Garden’s giant mistletoe to the glowing arches of Regent Street, the city dazzles from morning till night.
Sip hot chocolate at Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland, glide across the ice at Somerset House, or enjoy an elegant evening tea beneath chandeliers and carols.
Every corner of London tells a different Christmas story - one of joy, grandeur, and timeless charm.
Your Christmas, Your Way
From snow-dusted castles to candle-lit coastlines and glittering city nights — let Great Excapes design a Christmas journey that’s completely yours.
No crowds. No compromises. Just the kind of holiday that feels like a gift in itself.
Festive Travel Tips from Great Excapes
1. Pack for comfort and charm.
Wool coats, gloves, and scarves keep you warm — but style matters, too. Europe’s Christmas scenes make every photo feel postcard-perfect.
2. Reserve festive experiences early.
From Michelin-starred Christmas dinners to ice-skating slots, December fills up fast. Let our team handle the details so you can simply enjoy.
3. Travel slower.
The beauty of winter travel lies in unhurried moments — long breakfasts, scenic drives, spontaneous detours. We’ll design your journey to flow, not rush.
4. Celebrate local traditions.
Raise a toast at a Scottish Hogmanay, join an Irish carol sing-along, or catch a London pantomime — each adds a story to your season.
5. Add your own touch of magic.
A surprise experience, a candle-lit dinner, a private local guide — it’s the small details that make a Great Excape unforgettable.
