Are you one of those people who relishes the chilly weather and dreams about those snowy skies, long nights by the fire, and hot chocolate (or some mulled wine)? If a postcard-perfect Christmas is what you\u2019re dreaming of, the UK is a fantastic place to spend the holiday season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you won\u2019t be spending much time on the beach, sometimes bundling up and enjoying a Christmas spent strolling through markets, feasting on traditional Christmas dinners, and experiencing some local culture while you\u2019re at it is the way forward. If you&#8217;re travelling to the <a href=\"\/i\/england-christmas-new-year\">UK this holiday season<\/a>, spending Christmas in one of these charming Christmas towns in the UK is your ticket to festive joy!<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p><em>Travel to: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/d\/england\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">England <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Christmas like in the UK?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Christmas (December 25th) is celebrated as a time for families to come together and celebrate the season. Many families will have a Christmas lunch in the afternoon followed by visiting extended family or taking a walk through the town &#8211; you\u2019ll find most UK towns on Christmas Day alive with happy families!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK also observes Boxing Day, which takes place on December 26th and is a public holiday. If you\u2019re planning on doing some shopping on your trip, be sure to check what will be open and closed in your destination &#8211; not many shopping centres will be open on Christmas Day, but Boxing Day usually brings great sales (and large crowds, so prepare accordingly).<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/best-places-to-spend-christmas-when-travelling-solo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The 10 Best Places to Spend Christmas When Travelling Solo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Travellers should expect December temperatures in the UK to be an average of 7\u00baC (45\u00baF) to 2\u00baC (35\u00baF), and don\u2019t be surprised if you run into some rain &#8211; it is the UK, after all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Oxford<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Known as \u201cthe city of dreaming spires,\u201d Oxford can certainly provide some of that holiday magic to travellers passing through for the season! The town glows with twinkling lights from mid-November until Christmas, and there\u2019s much to see and do for solo travellers, families, and everyone in between. Head to the Museum of Natural History and learn about the animals who used to call the region home, or take things the traditional route and stroll through the Oxford Christmas Market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"465\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Oxford.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset from South Park, Oxford in Winter\" class=\"wp-image-25232 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Oxford.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Oxford-434x297.jpg 434w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/465;\" \/><figcaption>A wintery sunset in Oxford | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tejvan\/5582530557\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a9 Tejvan Pettinger\/Flickr (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a9 Tejvan Pettinger\/Flickr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re never far away from a classy cocktail or big night out in Oxford &#8211; it\u2019s one of the most famous student cities in the world, after all!
