December is almost here, which means it is time to prepare the Christmas 2022 itinerary. It is that time of the year when most people take off from work and their other responsibilities to plan a holiday with family, friends, and partners.

The North experiences either snowfall or cold waves, while the southern region receives a large footfall of tourists trying to escape the chilly winds. To put you out of the misery of picking up a holiday spot, we bring you a list of Indian destinations popular for spreading merry vibes around Christmas.

Manali

If you love the winter season and want to celebrate Christmas by making a snowman, Manali would be the right pick for you. Many newly-wed couples plan their honeymoon here as it is a budget-friendly vacation destination for people in the North.

From skiing to snowboarding, you indulge in adventurous activities. Tourists can also snuggle in a blanket, watch the snowfall and drink hot chocolate and another soothing beverage. Small cafes and restaurants deck up around this time, and you would not want to miss the fun.

Goa

Goa is undoubtedly the most famous destination in India for celebrating Christmas. Most of the hotels, flights and trains get booked in advance. During the day, people visit and decorate churches, and at night, tourists and natives participate in various events organised around cafes and beaches.
