Christmas & New Year Holidays

Make this year’s festive season extra special, as you jet off to celebrate the holiday season in style, safe in the knowledge that nothing is more important to us than your wellbeing.

Christmas is a wonderful time for a holiday, whether you want to recharge the batteries, spend some quality time with your family, or simply escape the gloom of the British winter. With everything that has happened in 2020, this sentiment is perhaps even more relevant this year than normal – we all need a break sometimes.

When you book a Christmas or New Year break with Newmarket Holidays, you can rest assured that your wellbeing is our number one priority. To find out more about the steps we are taking to keep our customers and colleagues safe, click here.

From Christmas dinner overlooking sparkling seas, to exploring snowy wildernesses in search of Santa, we've got a host of Christmas and New Year holidays to consider. Whether you want to soak up the yuletide spirit on the shores of Lake Garda, glide through the snow on a sleigh or enjoy a Christmas in warmer climes beside the Mediterranean, we’ve got a stocking full of Christmas and New Year holidays to tempt you and your family.

Admire the snow-blanketed mountains of the Austrian Tyrol, or escape to a festive fairy-tale hideaway in the beautiful, leafy surroundings of Chantilly forest at Chateau de Montvillargenne. Perhaps head south to the Mediterranean for a winter-warming festive break, and ring in the New Year with clear skies, basking in the winter sun as you relax on Cyprus, Spain’s Costa Brava or historic Malta. Or maybe cruise along some of Europe's most beautiful rivers, and take in the festive atmosphere of some charming, riverside towns and villages.

Whatever your tastes, why not plan your Christmas or New Year celebrations (or both) with Newmarket Holidays, and treat yourself, your family or a loved one to a festive holiday to remember, safe in the knowledge that your wellbeing matters to us?
