Why Last-Minute Holiday Travel Might Be the Best Gift You Give Yourself

Let’s be honest. Between the gift lists, the glitter, and the gravy boats, the holidays can feel a little... hectic. But what if this year, you traded the stress for sunsets? The wrapping paper for passport stamps? The crowded mall for a cobblestone piazza? Whether you're craving a spontaneous escape or just need a change of scenery before the holiday whirlwind hits, last-minute travel might be your ticket to peace, joy, and a whole lot of adventure.

The Perks of a Last-Minute Getaway

• Surprising Savings: This season brings a wave of enticing travel deals from top suppliers. Perillo Tours is offering significant savings on their Holiday Charms of Italy for December 2025, and Globus Journeys is offering up to $1000 off per couple on select 2026 itineraries. For those already mapping out next year’s vacation days, these offers are worth exploring.

• Fewer Crowds, More Magic: Travel in the magical lull between Thanksgiving and Christmas, when airports are quieter, upgrades are more likely, and you’ll have room to roam. It’s the sweet spot of the season, before the sleigh bells start ringing and the terminals fill with festive chaos.

• Built-In Festivity: From twinkling lights in European Christmas markets to tropical resorts decked out in holiday cheer, you’ll still get all the seasonal sparkle, just with a better view.
