We're Dreaming Of A White (Sand) Christmas Down Under

November 20, 2009 at 2:25 PM | by amandak | 0 Comments

Think a white, sandy Christmas might be better than a white snowy one? All you northern hemisphere people can be guaranteed a very different experience if you decide to celebrate Christmas in Australia, where temperatures can easily reach over the century mark and a swim at the beach is way more likely than a snowball fight.

The nice thing is that it's not even too late, if you decide skipping the drag of family festivities is what you want. There are still plenty of packages available to get you Down Under for a few days around Christmas time, including heaps of lastminute.com travel packages from LAX to Sydney, including airfare and accommodation for a week for around $2,000 for a five-night stay.

If you're feeling the Aussie spirit and desire to stay longer and soak up the sun right into 2010, you might need to look further afield than Sydney for some New Year's Eve accommodation. Sydney is the heart of New Year celebrations in Australia—everyone recognizes the fireworks over the Sydney Harbour Bridge from TV—and accommodation is heavily booked for the turn of the year.
