Dubai is one of the classic ‘winter sun’ destinations, and it’s a great choice for December or January sunshine. The weather is pretty consistent in December, you’ll get temperatures of around 26 degrees celsius (or 78 degrees Fahrenheit).

Next on my list of warm places to travel in December, my favourite location in the world… New Zealand!

New Zealand is amazing in December, in fact, it’s the perfect time to visit. Summertime is just beginning in December in New Zealand so the weather is mild, sunny, and generally pretty enjoyable. It’s t-shirt weather, and you’ll be able to do lots of outdoor activities safely without worrying about the weather (things like kayaking, hiking, etc). Bear in mind, the North Island of NZ is always a bit warmer and more ‘tropical’ than the South Island (but both islands experience good weather in December!).
