  • A winter road trip through Switzerland 🇨🇭 

A few winters ago, we drove our campervan to Switzerland from the Netherlands and it felt like we’d arrived in Narnia! ❄️ Here is a mini guide for families seemingly winter fun:

🏔️ Grindelwald

We celebrated Christmas tucked away in a cozy wooden cabin 🪵✨, surrounded by snow-covered mountains 🏔️ and twinkling lights. Slow mornings with hot chocolate ☕️🍫, watching the snow fall outside the window, and that quiet alpine magic you only get in winter. ☃️

💧❄️ Lauterbrunnen

Frozen waterfalls 🧊💦, snow-dusted villages 🏘️❄️, and little train rides through a valley that feels straight out of a fairytale 📖✨ Every turn was a postcard 📸🤍

🚆🏔️ Wengen

A car-free mountain village you reach by train 🚞 — which already makes it feel special ✨ Snowy streets, wooden chalets 🪵, sledding hills right outside your door 🛷, and views over the Lauterbrunnen valley that don’t feel real 🤍🏔️ 

❄️⛰️ Glacier 3000

A true winter wonderland ☃️✨ Sledding 🛷, playing in real snow, and walking across the peak-to-peak suspension bridge 🌉 with endless white peaks all around.

✨ Save this for your winter family bucket list

  • I’m not saying you should book a Christmas trip to Milan, Italy 🇮🇹…but here’s why you might want to.

Best things to do in Milan at Christmas: 

🎠 Wander the Christmas markets around Piazza Duomo, where festive stalls sit beneath the cathedral — and there’s a classic carousel ride that feels straight out of a storybook.

🎄Walk the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II dressed in full holiday sparkle. 

⛸️ Go ice skating at Villaggio delle Meraviglie (Indro Montanelli Gardens), with a partly heated/covered area and outdoor ice. 

☕ Warm up with hot chocolate or espresso in historic cafés

🕯️ Visit churches and midnight Mass if you’re there on Christmas Eve.

🍝 Indulge in seasonal Italian food — panettone hits different here.

❄️ Take an easy winter day trip to the Swiss Alps

Milan at Christmas isn’t loud or overdone.
It’s elegant, cozy, and made for slow wandering — the kind of trip that sneaks up on you and stays in your memory.

Would you come to Milan in December? ✨🇮🇹

  • All I want for Christmas… is not gifts. Not stuff.

Just my passport, a few plane tickets, and somewhere new to wake up ✈️🌍

Because travel is the one thing I never regret spending on — especially the kind that turns into family stories we tell for years. 

2026 looks set to be a year of travel and I cannot wait!

☃️Tag your husband or best travel buddy… or the friend who’s been dreaming of traveling more with their kid🎄✨

  • Nothing compares to New York City at Christmastime.🗽🎄✨

The whole city feels like it’s humming: lights wrapped around every tree, windows dressed like fairytales, hot pretzels steaming in the cold, and music drifting from every corner. Kids don’t just see Christmas here… they feel it. So do we.

Here’s our guide to Christmas in NYC with kids:

THE CLASSICS 🗽🎄✨

• See the @Rockefellercenter Christmas Tree — best early morning or late at night
• Visit the Macy’s Santaland — book early; it’s pure childhood wonder
• Walk @fifthavenue holiday windows — Bergdorf’s is the most magical
• Ride the @centralparknyc Carousel surrounded by winter trees

MAGICAL EXPERIENCES FOR KIDS 🧤❄️🛷

* Ice skate at @BryantParkNYC Winter Village (less crowded + cheaper than Rockefeller)
• Visit the @theplazahotel — any kid who’s seen Home Alone will be excited to come here
• Hop on the @StatenIslandFerry for free views of the Statue of Liberty
• Explore the @amnh American Museum of Natural History — warm, huge, kid-heaven

CHRISTMAS-THEMED MUSTS 🎅🏼❤️

• Wander Dyker Heights Christmas lights in Brooklyn (THE neighborhood for decorations)
• Catch @therockettes Christmas Spectacular — iconic + surprisingly kid-friendly
• Sip hot chocolate at Jacques Torres or @serendipity3nyc 
• Book a table at @rolfsny, the tiny German restaurant covered in ornaments

Bundle up, slow down when you can, let the chaos be part of the charm… and watch your kids’ eyes light up at every corner. 🎄✨

📌Save this for your next winter trip to the Big Apple!

Nothing compares to New York City at Christmastime.🗽🎄✨ The whole city feels like it’s humming: lights wrapped around every tree, windows dressed like fairytales, hot pretzels steaming in the cold, and music drifting from every corner.
