As the temperature drops, lights go up, and snow falls…we’re reminded of why we love this season. It could be the warm feeling of cozying up with a glass of wine by a crackling fire during the holidays, or traipsing through a serene blanket that reminds us of childhood snow days. Whether you prefer to be curled up indoors or flying down the slopes, our favorite picks for wintry escapes have you covered – packed with fun, nostalgia, and a whole ‘lotta jingle.
- NEW ENGLAND COUNTRYSIDE
Though Boston is forever in our hearts, there’s so many beautiful, quaint towns to see in New England that are overshadowed by the big city. These towns take on a magical air in winter. For a step back in time, escape to a hidden New England country estate that celebrates a bygone era.
Why We Love it: Who doesn’t want to be doted on and truly feel like a royal guest in a lovely mansion?
Don’t miss: Proper tea time, complete with lace linens and to-die-for tarts, followed by a relaxation massage fit for a queen.
- NEW YORK CITY
From the dazzling décor at Rockefeller Center, to the intricate, dream-like windows of top retailers like Macy’s and Bergdorf’s – New York does everything big, and the holidays are no exception.
Why we love it: You can get warm-and-fuzzy holiday cheer, alongside all the urban edge and nightlife of New York. And…did we mention the shopping?
Don’t miss: VIP Skating at Rockefeller Center with Skate concierge, and a lounge for cookies and coffee. Oh yes, and manicures and martinis for a little sass.
- WHISTLER, CANADA
Whistler Blackcomb, just north of Vancouver, is one of our favorite winter playgrounds with its own vibe. Whistler does winter right with plenty of outdoor activities on and off the slopes, and great bars and restaurants for afterwards.
Why we love it: This two-mountain resort has over 200 runs, and enough après-ski hot spots for every taste.
Don’t miss: Dog sledding with a friend while taking in the gorgeous forest of the Callaghan Valley. Mush!
- LAKE TAHOE
It’s no wonder locals call it “Tahoe Time” – because here, it’s all about relaxation and that gorgeous lake view. Fun live music venues and great skiing keep travelers happy, with dining options from high-end to come-as-you-are.
Why we love it: The ski concierge service comes right to your room and makes fitting your boots a snap.
Don’t miss: Snowmobiling around the lake for epic photos, then sipping a delish “Tahoe-tini”.
