From sweet treats and glimmering lights to cozy nights by the fire and holiday get-togethers – there are so many special experiences around the corner. As the holiday season approaches, consider unwrapping the gift of travel to make this time of year even more magical!

Unwrapping the gift of travel means unwrapping adventure together. It means making memories you and your loved ones will cherish for a lifetime. It means celebrating with carols on the road or in your hotel room with lit-up lights. It means cherishing your at-home traditions – and maybe even bringing them with you – but taking the time to discover new ways to celebrate the holidays.

Best Western® Hotels & Resorts has put together an amazing holiday travel guide with the inspiration and tools that can help you plan an unforgettable holiday or winter travel getaway. When reading through the guide, you might be surprised to find all the incredible destinations known for adding that extra sprinkle of holiday magic and sparking wanderlust this winter.

Whether you’re looking for suggestions on the best Christmas towns to visit, the ideal destination to celebrate Hannukah, unforgettable locales to ring in the New Year, or national parks that are even more beautiful in the winter-time – Best Western Hotels & Resorts has you covered.

For instance, did you know there’s a town called Bethlehem, Pennsylvania – known as “The Christmas City”– and that it is a must-see town that has been spreading Christmas joy since Christmas Eve in 1741? What about St. Augustine, Florida? Despite the warmer climate and beachfront location, the town has been named by National Geographic as having one of the top ten holiday lights displays in the world. Its “Night of Lights” display makes up over 20 city blocks in the historic district!

And there are many competing destinations when it comes to where to celebrate Hanukkah. There’s the Hanukkah River Barge cruise experience in San Antonio, the National Menorah Lighting in Washington D.C., and the Hanukkah Celebration & Car Menorah Parade in Florida’s Space Coast, just to name a few destination contenders. But even with tough competition, the guide lists New York City as the ultimate place to celebrate Hanukkah. You’ll see there are plenty of reasons as to why NYC made the top of the list.

The guide also provides holiday tips and tools, including information on how to best celebrate holiday traditions on vacation, a recommended holiday packing list, a sample travel itinerary and suggested Best Western hotels to stay at.

But wait, let’s not stop there. How about getting rewarded for making these special memories this holiday season? As a AAA member, you can save up to 15% when staying at a Best Western-branded hotel.
