subject: New Year Breaks with Children [print this page] Christmas is an occasion for the family, but New Year has always been the time to let your hair down and enjoy life - and that doesn't have to stop just because you have children. You'll find plenty of New Year breaks ideal for all the family, whether you want to immerse yourself in the festive spirit or get away from the commotion and the winter weather by heading to a secluded beach overseas.
It's a sad truth that New Year tends to be the last big holiday for a long time, so it's important to make the most of the occasion before the new school term begins and your work regime returns to normal. When you book your New Year break ahead, you can ensure your place in some of the country's best hotels so there's one thing less to worry about in the hectic run-up to the Christmas season. Booking ahead can also offer exclusive discounts, with great rates for kids.
As a final chance to celebrate the glorious winter, it makes sense to make your New Year break all about snow and hearty cuisine. Just because Christmas is hibernating for another year doesn't mean an end to the winter wonderland, and New Year is the perfect chance to see some of Britain's most scenic areas transformed by the season - including regional favourites like the Lake District and Yorkshire. Many hotels in the countryside and in the big cities offer dedicated New Year packages that you can even combine with a Christmas escape, to take the strain off Christmas dinner and let you spend more time with your loved ones.
New Year breaks don't have to mean having a quiet time with the family, of course - especially if you're keen to get involved in the big street parties in cities like Edinburgh, where the Hogmanay is a hugely popular annual event. Other UK cities are fast catching up with celebrations of their own, and you can soak up the electric atmosphere in Manchester, Bristol and of course London, where some of the world's biggest celebrations take place on December 31st.
You don't have to keep your sights set on the UK either, as New Year is a big deal in many places around the globe too. Don't just settle for watching the action unfold on TV, head to New York's Times Square to see spectacular fireworks and enjoy the lively party atmosphere, suitable for visitors of all ages on the one night the little ones are allowed up past their bedtime.
