As for inexpensive but worthwhile places to visit for your Christmas vacation, these include:

Quebec is a beautiful city to visit. If you still desire snow and winter wonderland for Christmas, you’re certain to find plenty of it in this stunning region. You’ll need to dress warm, of course, but you can find several fun things to do locally in the city, cutting down on expenses.

If sun and fun is more your thing, and you want a great escape from the cold and snow, then consider Puerto Vallarta or other top destinations in Mexico. Generally inexpensive year-round, Puerto Vallarta offers plenty of all-inclusive resorts to enjoy. This will ensure you’ll never need to worry about planning your meals and activities; instead, you can kick back and relax with some well-deserved rest and relaxation on the beach.

As another great option for beaches and sun worshiping, Jamaica has a festive feel and is delightful to visit during the holiday season. You can opt for all-inclusive resorts or several of the inexpensive hotels that populate the area.

Staying in New York City itself isn’t cheap, but you can get a hotel on Long Island or one of the other boroughs and travel into the city via train, taking in all the holiday delights the city has to offer. Everyone should see New York City at Christmas at least once!
