Although it might be difficult to envision a warm Christmas by the beach -- without the stereotypical snow and Christmas decor from home. The Canary Islands offer plenty of celebrations and activities to keep you entertained during the holiday season. With plenty of fantastic offers on flights and places to stay, there's no reason not to embark on an exotic escape away this year.
You don't have to be in the UK to enjoy a traditional Christmas meal. Book in Christmas lunch as soon as you arrive or choose a self-catering mytravel deal and snap up a turkey and all the trimmings from your local supermarket.
Here in the UK, things tend to close down around the main days of the holiday forcing you to camp inside watching TV and going stir-crazy. If you are lucky enough to be holidaying in the Canaries, as it is the busiest time of the year, you will be able to partake in pretty much any activity you like. So, if you so wish you can spend Christmas day swimming with dolphins, climbing volcanoes or taking a ride in a glass bottomed boat to see how the underwater creatures like to spend their December 25th.
It's only right that if you are celebrating Christmas in Spain, you should enjoy some of their festive traditions. Depending on which island you are visiting, you can expect huge firework displays, carnivals and if you are still around come January 6th, you can enjoy the Three King processions which celebrate the arrival of the Three Kings in Bethlehem.
Whether all you want is an escape from the Christmas madness back home, a bit of winter sun and rest and relaxation by the pool or a glimpse into how the Spanish celebrate everyone's favourite time of year, the Canary Islands are a great option and the locals will welcome you with open arms.
