While many people prefer a cosy Christmas at home, Hollywood's elite are increasingly jetting off to glamorous destinations. Among the most surprising new hotspots is Antarctica, with celebrities reportedly spending millions on chartered yachts to the frozen continent. Nina Dobrev is said to have taken an estimated $5.6 million trip there.
Traditional winter playgrounds remain popular. Aspen, Colorado, attracts stars like Mariah Carey, Kylie Jenner, and Hailey Bieber for skiing and New Year celebrations. Kevin Costner owns a 160-acre ranch there, with houses available to rent from $10,000 per night.
European alternatives include St. Moritz in Switzerland, favoured by Liz Hurley and the late Princess Diana, and Courchevel in the French Alps, a favourite of the Beckhams, Elton John, and Prince William. New York also draws celebrities like Taylor Swift and Katie Holmes for festive activities such as ice skating and visiting the Rockefeller Christmas tree.
