Also: Saying goodbye to Splash Mountain [The Points Guy]( WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY Dec 3, 2022 SPONSORED BY [TPG] IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE HOLIDAY TRAVEL There’s something magical about spending the holidays in a part of the world that is known as a holiday hot spot. Not far from my own home, there’s a town called Santa Claus, Indiana, that celebrates Christmas every day of the year. Of course, during the holiday season, they turn the Claus-ometer all the way up with a parade, chestnut roasting, drive-thru light displays and more. It’s a must-visit if you need a little dose of holiday spirit, but I spoke to some TPG colleagues to find out where they go when they want to get holly and jolly. TPG’s managing editor for news, Clint Henderson, is partial to the Christmas markets in [Prague]( but he has also spent the holidays in the much warmer – but just as festive – Medellin, Colombia. Millions of colorful lights illuminate the town and the theme changes every year. From ice skating in Bryant Park to visiting Santa at Macy’s, Summer Hull, TPG’s director of travel content, loves the quintessential holiday happenings in [New York City](. One festive location that most all TPG staffers agree you must visit at least once is [Vienna](. In fact, TPG senior product management director Gabe Travers just returned from there and it looked like a true winter wonderland. The city’s largest Christmas market has more than 100 stalls and there’s a Ferris wheel where you can get a reindeer’s-eye view of the lights and decor. Feeling the need to book a festive escape?
