All I want for Christmas is a trip to the Caribbean. Christmas kicks off the peak travel season in the Caribbean, Mexico and the Bahamas, and this busy season lasts until around Easter. You'll find nice weather and lower rates. Also, the resorts are generally less crowded. Popular dates in this time period are the last ten days of December. If you want to relax and enjoy a tropical getaway during the holidays, make sure you book soon (no later than September) to get the best deals, as they sell out fast.
Tips for holiday travel:
1. Depart and return on a weekday.
2. Plan on at least 4 nights (including one Saturday night stay) as many resorts require minimum stays during the holidays.
3. Book as soon as possible and no later than September.
4. For the best rates, choose travel dates between Thanksgiving week and the week of Christmas.
