Christmas on the beach - competition


In many parts of the world, the iconography of an English Christmas is so traditional it transcends mere details of the local seasons and weather. Even in climates like Australia and California, Christmas cards often feature frost-laden fir trees, red robins, snowmen, icicles and mistletoe - even though on Christmas day at Bondii Beach or La Jolla, it can reach 30 degrees in the shade!



For this competition we’re giving away a Better Start package - that’s your airport parking, an airport hotel and an airport lounge for a better start to your next trip - for the best photo of a traditional British Christmas being celebrated somewhere it really doesn’t match the weather.

Show us fir trees on the beach, fairy lights in palm trees, snowmen made of sand and robins nesting on snowy mangroves!


How to enter

To enter, please go to Instagram and upload your Christmas photo, tagging us at @holidayextras.

You'll be entered into our prize draw, and by entering you agree (a) to let us contact you on Instagram to let you know if you've won and (b) to let us publish your photo on our website if you win.



On Friday December 20th we'll choose our favourite one and publish it on the website. Our winner will get our Better Start package - an airport hotel, airport parking and airport lounge for their next trip, all on us.

Terms and conditions for the competition are at this link.



Book your holiday extras early

It pays to book your airport parking, airport hotel or your lounge as soon as you book your flights. Prices usually go up nearer the date you fly, so you can usually save money by visiting us as soon as you've booked your trip.
