Teletext Holidays Reveals Top December Holiday Destinations

As winter arrives and the countdown to Christmas begins, Teletext Holidays has unveiled its top destinations for spontaneous December escapes, all offering travellers the chance to experience the magic of Christmas in the sun. As the home of last minute sunshine for over 30 years, it’s no surprise we’re seeing a surge in demand this December, with more holidaymakers than ever searching for easy winter warmth and unbeatable value.

December remains one of the most rewarding times of the year to travel. Early in the month, holidaymakers can snap up some of the best-priced deals before the school holidays kick in, while families can make the most of the December break with a sunshine-filled getaway that feels wonderfully off-season. And with many travellers keen to start the new year soaking up vitamin D rather than scraping frost off the car, January looks set to follow the same pattern, with these winter-sun hotspots expected to remain firm favourites well into 2026.

This year see the below destinations make up the most popular for December getaways:

1. Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt

2. Tenerife, Canary Islands

3. Hurghada, Egypt

4. Antalya, Turkey

5. Marrakesh, Morocco

6. Tunisia

7. Alicante, Spain

8. Malta

9. Agadir, Morocco

10. Lanzarote, Canary Islands

Ricky Durrance from Teletext Holidays said: “December is one of the most exciting months to book a last minute getaway and you can find great value if you know where to look.
