Default Holiday Ideas For December

So I've been told by my doctor that I should take a rest from work soon and book a holiday if possible. I'm planning on taking a holiday in December time, but I'm used to Summer holidays and going to Sunny places etc. Does anyone have any good ideas for a December holiday, whether through word of mouth or experience ? I'm most likely going with 3 other friends if that helps.

Thanks.

Prague. Very cheap, lots to see in the day, great nightlife.

I was there while it was snowing, made a lot of the views over the city even better

somewhere to see the aurora borealis would be a bit amazing really (but then idk if Sweden/Norway are super-expensive, I always hear they are a bit)

If you want Christmassy stuff you could try Poland or Bruges or Tenerife or Gran Canaria are your best bets for winter sun unless you wanna do the Carribean or somewher

Do you ski BL? Andorra is quite cheap and really good for beginners. If you've got the cash, try one of the US resorts, Breckenridge and Steamboat, Colorado, are brilliant. Aspen is spectacular but really expensive. USA ski resorts are much better than European resorts for non-skiers and there're loads of other things you can do, hire a snow mobile, for example. If you're going for sunshine maybe Goa? It's good value and the locals are very friendly.

Breckenridge Been there twice and by far the best place I've ever skied

On a budget though I reckon Bruges is a good shout. Can be done cheap as anything, plenty to see and there's a good scene there

Poland, have a friend over there on holiday at the moment and it's costing him Ł300 for the week including travel, spending money and a 4* hotel. Cheap holiday and nice place.. Freezing though.

i would second the canaries but don't go during the christmas or new year days as the price rockets then. I've had many a beer in the first week of January with a day time temperature around 26/27.
