How to have a fabulous Twixmas time

The festive season isn’t just about Christmas and New Year. There’s that bit in between - Twixmas in other words. So what should you do to keep the fun happening while you’re waiting for the next celebration?

We think it’s the perfect time to get out and have a festive adventure or two! If you need to fill the gap between crackers and the countdown, read our guide for some Twixmas inspiration.

Take in a show
Haven’t seen a Christmas panto yet? Wanted to see a show all year but somehow haven’t got around to it? Now’s the perfect time. Live performances keep the celebration vibe going. And if you pick something family friendly you can enjoy it with the kids and any relatives staying for the festive season.

Explore a museum or art gallery
Twixmas is ideal for getting a taste of culture at a gallery or museum. Locals and tourists will be recovering from their big Christmas bashes, so you should be able to browse without the crowds. Just remember to check opening times in case they’re closed for a festive break.

Go for a walk in the countryside
We all love a roast turkey dinner and lavish dessert on Christmas Day. But post-Christmas, many of us want to walk off those extra calories! Going for a stroll or hike in the English countryside is a lovely way to spend a Twixmas afternoon. You can enjoy it alone (if you need to escape) or with your nearest and dearest.

If you fancy making a mini-break of it, we’ll supply you with comfy accommodation for resting up after your outdoor adventure.

Do something wintry
Embrace the season – grab your Santa hat and take to the ice at an outdoor rink, enjoy winter sports at a ski and snowboard centre or be wowed at an outdoor light display in one of the UK’s gorgeous gardens.

Play a round of golf
Twixmas is a great excuse (if you need one!) to get together with a group of friends for a round or two out on the course. Not only will you have fun in the fresh air, you’ll also walk off a few of those Christmas calories. You could even make the most of it by booking a Twixmas golf mini-break with us.

Enjoy a restful spa day
If you’ve just hosted a big Christmas gathering and want to recover before New Year’s Eve, nothing beats a spa day. (Except for a spa day followed by a good night’s sleep.) Why not book a stay at one of our amazing hotel and spa locations for some much-needed rest and relaxation? And bring the family along, we’ve got plenty of room. You can indulge in a back massage and facial while the kids play with their Christmas gifts.

See friends and family
It’s not always possible to squeeze everyone we love round the table on Christmas Day, so why not use Twixmas to pay a visit to a special someone you’ve missed? Make a getaway of it and meet in the middle for good food, good company and good times.
