Whoever said ‘Christmas comes but once a year’ is yet to experience the wonder of a Turkey & Tinsel break with National Holidays. If you love a large helping of yuletide magic then we bet these getaways are right up your street!
So what do they entail exactly? Well, we like to think of them as a bit of a warm up to the big day itself. Taking place throughout November and December, with a traditional Christmas dinner and festivities included, plus hotel accommodation, coach travel throughout and a splendid inclusive itinerary with free excursions, they’re the perfect way to treat yourself and get into the Christmas spirit.
We’ve rounded up our top picks to help you discover a new favourite staycation this winter. Be sure to look out for the 2 for 1 bar offer, which is included on certain holidays!
Llandudno
Have you tried Llandudno during the winter months? Affectionately known as the ‘Queen of the Welsh Resorts’, it makes for a wonderful staycation destination without the usual summer crowds. Have the sweeping promenade all to yourself and enjoy a peaceful stroll along the long sandy beaches. Complete with a huge range of free excursions, from Betws-y-Coed and Conwy to the Isle of Anglesey and Caernarfon, this break offers a great mixture of exploration and relaxation.
Loch Lomond
If you fancy something a little different then our Oban, Loch Lomond & The Trossachs - Turkey & Tinsel break could be the option for you. From our base on the peaceful banks of Loch Long, we discover the delights of Oban along with Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. This treasure trove of unspoilt delights makes for a perfect Christmas coach holiday and, with mulled wine and a festive treat on arrival, cream tea on one afternoon and a special ‘Christmas’ dinner with a complimentary glass of wine, it’s the perfect way to toast the start of the festive season.
Folkestone
Head south this winter to the lovely county of Kent. Our Folkestone & Historic Canterbury - Turkey & Tinsel getaway offers plenty of fabulous entertainment (we stay in the country's leading entertainment hotel, after all). As well as plenty of free excursions; think Margate, Battle and Hastings, plus we’ve even thrown in a 2 for 1 bar offer to really help get the party started. Cheers to that!
Brighton
With the curvy Royal Pavilion awash with festive lights and cosy cafes in The Lanes welcoming you inside with that delicious scent of mulled cider, Brighton in the winter is seriously underrated, The iconic pier is open all year round and there’s something extra magical about visiting during the lead up to Christmas. Complete with plenty of evening entertainment and free excursions to Eastbourne, Lewes and Chichester, why not make Brighton & the South Coast your Turkey & Tinsel break this year?
Scarborough
Our Scarborough, Whitby & Historic York escape is one of our most popular Turkey & Tinsel breaks. Scarborough is always a great place to get the party started, but getting the chance to explore charming Whitby and lovely York, all dressed up for the Christmas festivities with twinkling lights and festive decorations is an unforgettable experience (and offers the chance to finish off that all-important Christmas shopping)!
Don’t forget, we have plenty of other destinations available for our Turkey & Tinsel breaks including Folkestone & Bruges, Blackpool and the Isle of Wight. Have a browse of the coach holidays available from your local pickup point here.
