Join me next December for a holiday escape straight out of a snow globe—where twinkling lights, old-world charm, and spiced cookies come standard.

We’ll kick things off in Berlin, a city that’s equal parts history and holiday hustle, before heading to Dresden—widely known as the capital of Christmas—for a dose of festive cheer that’s been going strong since the 1400s.

Then we’ll hop over to Czechia to unwind in Karlovy Vary, a dreamy spa town where you can soak in warm thermal baths surrounded by 19th-century architecture. Finally, we’ll wrap things up in Prague, a city that feels tailor-made for fairy tales (and festive IG content, let’s be honest).

The vibes: cozy markets, handcrafted ornaments, chimney cake, and just enough snow to make it magical without freezing your toes off. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or it's your first time abroad, this trip promises to be equal parts merry and meaningful—a perfect way to close out the year.
