5 incredible places to spend Christmas in Mexico

Christmas is a time to spend with family, and if everyone is together, then it doesn't matter if they are away from home, especially if they find themselves in one of these destinations. There are certain cities in Mexico that truly know how to celebrate Christmas with a great atmosphere and decorations everywhere. We recommend these five destinations if you're looking for a place to escape to during Christmas. San Miguel de Allende Piñatas, posadas, and ponche summarize the festivities that occur in this colorful city where Christmas is not only a religious matter but a whole celebration. In the days leading up to December 24th, you might encounter Mary and Joseph walking through the streets while locals make pilgrimages from house to house, singing to ask for posada.   Cabo San Lucas If you are one of those people who prefer to escape the cold during Christmas, then we recommend this beach destination. There you will find very elegant restaurants or traditional family spots to spend Christmas Eve. In addition, the whale watching season begins on December 15th, and this is a gift from nature that no one will want to miss during the holidays.   Creel This small town in the mountains of Chihuahua is one of the few places in Mexico where you can experience a snowy Christmas. You can explore the natural beauties of the state such as the Copper Canyon, but make sure to be in Creel on the night of the 24th where there are hotels designed like cabins, and a warm dinner by the fireplace awaits you to admire the snow outside from a cozy restaurant.   Playa del Carmen Christmas can be very calm and family-oriented, or it can also be a night of partying. In Playa del Carmen, you can have both options; on one hand, there are countless decorated restaurants that will serve Christmas dinners, while on its famous Fifth Avenue, you can find bars serving seasonal cocktails. If what you seek is a mixed night, the Mexican Caribbean will not disappoint.   Valle de Bravo The closest magical town to Mexico City is the choice of many for a weekend getaway, but it is also an ideal alternative for Christmas. Its picturesque houses, cobblestone streets, and the Zócalo, which is always decorated with lights and ornaments, will absorb you in a 100% Christmas atmosphere. Additionally, there is a whole range of hotels and restaurants to spend the night of the 24th with your family.     To wrap up, here are a couple of tips so you won't have problems traveling by car with your children or packing for Christmas trips.
