Why Planning Your 2026 Travels During the Holidays Is a Smart Move

The holidays feel magical for a lot of reasons — good food, cozy nights, family time, and the sparkle of a brand-new year around the corner. But if you’re a traveler at heart, the holidays are more than traditions… they’re a reminder that the world is bigger, brighter, and waiting for you to explore it.

Whether you're traveling this season or staying home with a warm drink and your fuzzy socks, now is the perfect time to start dreaming (and planning!) for the trips you’ll take in 2026.

Here’s why 👇🏾

🎄 1. Holiday Travel Puts Everything Into Perspective

Traveling during the holidays hits different.Whether you’re exploring a new country or taking a quick getaway, it gives you:

• A chance to reset after a long year

• A break from routine

• New scenery, new food, new joy

• Time to reflect on what you want in the year ahead

And honestly… nothing sparks next-year planning like watching a sunset in another country.

🛫 2. The Holidays Bring Out That “Next Year I’m Going Places” Energy

This is the season when people say:

• “I want to travel more.”

• “I’m taking myself on a birthday trip this year.”

• “I’m doing at least one girls’ trip.”

• “I’m finally getting that passport stamped.”

If you've ever said one of these — congratulations, your 2026 travel era is already in motion.

Now it’s time to turn those intentions into an actual plan.
