Fancy something different this Christmas?

Funnily enough, many of us are open to enjoying the festivities abroad rather than spending it in the UK.

But what can be really difficult is trying to find a bargain. When is it not?

Christmas is extremely expensive, but, it doesn't actually have to be.

That is why, we've looked at the cheapest holiday deals out there at the moment, as well as the most popular.

“Winter travel doesn’t have to put a freeze on your wallet,” says Melanie Fish, a spokesperson for Expedia Group Brands. 

“With lower flight and hotel prices, it’s a great time to enjoy a less crowded European break. Brits are opting for more affordable, alternative Winter destinations, with lesser-known Christmas market hotspots, like Strasbourg, Gothenburg and Poznan, topping the trending list. 

"A no-brainer hack to remember is when you book your flight and hotel together on the Expedia app, you’ll save hundreds of pounds on your trip.”
