"And finally, it doesn’t get much more Christmassy than the annual 60-feet Christmas tree sparkling with more than 115,000 colorful lights in Covent Garden. Head down to see it towering in its glory and while there, enter the magical Christmas Village spread across the East Piazza of the market building. Mooch around the craft stalls for some Christmas gift shopping, warm up with one of the 25 varieties of mulled wine on offer, and ensure it’ll be a white Christmas with the daily snow showers. Address: Covent Garden, The Market Building, London WC2E 8RF Closest Underground station: Covent Garden (naturally) Where to stay: The Savoy (0.2 miles away—and go on, treat yourself)" - Matt Ortile, Olivia Morelli
