As December rolls around, people start getting into the Christmas spirit. Spectacular street lights are turned on, trees are decorated, and markets roll out the festive cheer.

But unless you feel like paying through the teeth for plane tickets, weekend breaks abroad are pretty much off the table until the New Year.

The good news is you don’t necessarily need to leave the country to feel like you’re on holiday – it can all be done on your doorstep.
