Snow-loving enthusiasts will be joyous with weather forecasters' prediction that a white Christmas is on the cards for the UK this year. Temperatures are set to nose-dive in the coming weeks, however this does not guarantee snowfall on Christmas Day.
According to Met Office, the definition of a white Christmas is 'one snowflake to be observed falling in the 24 hours of December 25 somewhere in the UK'. Besides tenuous weather predictions and expecting just the one lonely snowflake constituting a white Christmas, there is another way you can guarantee waking up to a snowy scene.
Solo travel experts at WeRoad have curated their top three destinations of the most Christmassy spots in the world. Witness The Rockefeller tree in all its glory, spot the glow of the northern lights in Iceland or go sledging with huskies in Lapland as you cosy up in the snow and create memories for an unforgettable Christmas.
Top three destinations for a white Christmas
Tour departs December 24 - 30
Swedish Lapland is considered to be one of the most Christmassy destinations in the world. Beginning in the capital of Stockholm, travellers will discover the first 'wow' moment of the trip as a beautiful night train whisks them away to Kiruna.
This is the northernmost town in the country that lies at the very heart of Lapland, more than a thousand kilometres north of the capital. Visitors will venture beyond the Arctic Circle and away from the light pollution of the big cities to increase chances of seeing the northern lights.
Seeing famed aurora which some wanderlust seekers describe as a 'once in a lifetime experience' certainly beats LED Christmas lights in the home. Travellers can expect days to be filled with endless adventures making this an outing for those who also like the great outdoors.
Sledge with man’s best friend, go for a cross-country ski or even just relax in the sauna. Experience a Christmas like ho-ho-no other and don't forget to pack thermals.
Tour departs December 10 - 17
Christmas is a good time to visit Iceland because it is between October and March that you can witness the spectacle of the northern lights, one of the most incredible natural phenomena in the world. Journey through the land of ice and fire as you experience waterfalls, lagoons and some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world.
Apart from this being a bucket-list moment, you can also take gorgeous photos of the lush scenery, driving those back home wild with jealousy over your picture-perfect winter snaps.
