17 of the best places to spend Christmas 2022 

13. The Ganges, India

Spend Christmas on a luxurious cruise along India’s holiest river where the warmth of the winter sun mixes well with the Christmas spirit. On these cruises, you’ll find a journey whose stand-outs include misty early mornings revealing ancient temples and small boats bumping along in the water, devotees by the edge, followed by the wake-up call of bustling bazaars and the solemn fortresses of Jaipur and Varanasi.
