If you’re bundling up for another season of slush, ice, and snow, we have some good news for you!

For travelers coming from colder climates, this is ideal vacation weather—mild days, sunny skies, and crisp evenings that pair perfectly with outdoor adventures. 

This season of giving, why not gift yourself a trip somewhere warm? You might plan a long weekend in Las Vegas, a road trip through Arizona and Texas, or a full winter stay in Florida. Any way you prefer, the sunbelt offers endless ways to enjoy the season.
