The Christmas countdown has officially begun! With less than 100 days left before one of our favourite times of the year, it's only fair that we tell you why we believe you should go on a family ski holiday.

Christmas and New Year is a magical time for both adults and children, especially when you are surrounded by snow on holiday! So, if you usually go skiing at some other time of the year, here is a list of reasons why you should give this a go:

1. You'll keep the kids active and entertained during the school break

As you’re too busy planning and preparing all the family events, the kids usually spend most of their school break on their computers or video games. If you’re on a ski holiday, they will be busy on the slopes and making new friends.

2. You'll avoid cooking and cleaning

The magic of being on a holiday is that you won’t be spending most of your time cooking and cleaning! Another thing you’ll also be able to avoid is meeting with THOSE relatives … and you’ll be spending some lovely quality time with the people you actually enjoy spending time with.

3. You'll wake up to a white Christmas

Spending Christmas in a ski resort guarantees snow on Christmas day and, if you’re lucky enough, you may even see it snow! This is a beautiful experience and, if you’re travelling with kids, it’ll be an experience they’ll never forget!

4. You'll start the year on the slopes!

Sick of spending New Year’s day bored in the house and feeling guilty for over indulging? Then this is your chance to start working on your new year’s resolutions ;)

You will definitely feel like you’re on top of the world when you see yourself at the top of the slopes taking in the beautiful views!

So, what's the best time to go skiing over Christmas and New Year?

This is something we cannot decide for you. It all depends on your family commitments …

There may be some family dinners or lunches over Christmas that you can’t miss. If that is the case, you can always head to a ski resort after boxing day and celebrate the new year on the slopes. If however, you fancy having a white Christmas, then you can be on location in time for a delicious Christmas Eve Feast in the hotel of your choice!!

What's great about booking a ski holiday with Esquiades.com is that we are totally flexible with the booking dates. It’s totally up to you! You can take the time to properly plan your flight arrangements and find the cheapest flights before confirming your ski holidays with us!

TOP TIP

If there’s a ski deal of ours that’s caught your eye but you haven’t confirmed the flights yet, we recommend you to “pre-book” on Esquiades.com. How? All you need to do is select “bank transfer” as your payment option and you’ll automatically receive a booking reference that is valid for 24 hours. This gives you plenty of time to sort out your flight arrangements ;)

Check out the best ski deals for skiing this 2021 Christmas break!

Do you want us to let you in on a secret?

You can find some real bargains if you book for off-peak dates!!!

So, if you don’t want to be away from home for too long and feel bad about missing family gatherings, How about treating yourself to a short ski break between Christmas and New Year? Like we said, we are totally flexible with the booking dates.

Check out our cheap short ski breaks for the holiday season and be home in time for your NYE dinner with family and friends ;)
