16 Best Beach Resorts for the Holidays

"Seasonal cheer comes in many forms. Of course, the halls are decked and the trees trimmed, but it’s the heartwarming holiday happenings that really take the jubilation up a notch. The unveiling of the life-size gingerbread house is a beloved annual activity (it’s also a brilliant backdrop for Christmas cards and frame-worthy photos to gift loved ones back home). Families can create sweet memories by decorating mini gingerbread masterpieces together. The whimsical Teddy Bear Tea features tasty kid-approved treats, festive decor, and joyful music. Guests have access to all the festivities at The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón, too — notably the special holiday market and ice-skating rink among the palm trees." - Lindsay Cohn Lindsay Cohn Lindsay Cohn is a writer, editor, and avid traveler who has visited 45 countries across six continents — and counting.
