Christmas celebration differs from one location to another. Thus, the question of where to spend the Christmas holiday is asked.
In some places, it comes alive with sunshine, street festivals and joyous festivities. While it arrives shrouded in snow, fairy lights and sonorous carol songs in other places.
However, below are nine (9) best places in the world to spend Christmas:
1. Nuremberg, Germany
Few places embody Christmas tradition like Nuremberg. Its historic old town hosts one of Europe’s most iconic markets, where gingerbread, mulled wine and handcrafted ornaments turn winter evenings into a festive ritual.

In Tokyo, Christmas is more about performance than religion. A modern yet surprisingly comfortable holiday ambience is created as the city comes to life with ornate illuminations, themed displays, and seasonal cuisines.

Lapland is a fantastic place to spend Christmas because of its snow-covered forests, husky sledge rides, and chance to see the Northern Lights. Travellers looking for a genuinely snowy, fantastical celebration will find it perfect.
