If you’re willing to spend half a day on a plane, then you should think about heading to western India for a vacation over Christmas. Goa is India’s most liberal state, and they celebrate Christmas in a big way, even though their temps in December usually hover around 80°.
People primarily come to Goa to party, and the year’s biggest party always happens on New Year’s Eve. The cities in Goa are always packed in the week between Christmas and New Year’s, as more tourists arrive and gear up for the main event. Spend your days wandering through a city strewn with tinsel and lights, and every evening, sample a new beach party locale, until you find the perfect one for New Year’s Eve.
