A traditional Italian Christmas is like no other. With its interesting customs like giving lentils for good luck and the playing of Panforte Christmas games, it’s a delightful country to spend the holidays in.

Take a tour of the festive and utterly charming Bolzano Christmas market. Try the Ricciarelli, the sublime Italian coffee, Christmas cookies, panforte and mulled wine on a food tour and taste some of the best of Italian cuisines.

Celebrate the season as the Italians do; with some skiing and sampling of delicious delicacies in the traditional mountain huts of Alta Badia in the scenic Dolomites. Sample fine wines, visiting some of the finest vineyards and villas Italy has to offer and find the true essence of Italian living.

For foodies and adrenaline junkies alike, the winter sports, Michelin-starred chefs and exclusive events make this UNESCO World Heritage site a wonderful and exciting place to visit.

Or, immerse yourself in a fantastic land of Nativity in Naples. Enter this world of unique miniature creations as you explore the city in a different and exciting way, finding the birthplace of the Neapolitan Nativity in the pedestrianised San Gregorio Armeno Street.

Spend some time in the amazing city of Venice. Listen to the bells ringing out all Christmas Day from the tower in St Mark’s Square as you indulge in a hot chocolate.
