We have Dec.25-Jan4 available for travel. Where do you recommend anywhere that is not too cold or expensive?

Your thread was posted on the Technical Support board. Because there are no details about what part(s) of the world interest you, we've moved it to the general Travel Tips and Trip Ideas forum. If there are specific states and or countries you are considering, we can move it again to the relevant destination forum.

Any place will be more expensive than at other times of the year. You are traveling at one of the most expensive travel times.
We used to travel at that time of the year due to our schedules and we paid almost twice as much as we would have if we had gone two weeks before or two weeks after that time.

We need more information in order to help you.
Where do you live? Do you want a beach vacation or an active one?
What is your budget?

Though airfares won’t be inexpensive I’d go to Mexico. Something for everyone.
