Not everyone wants a White Christmas, especially if things are abysmally cold and damp wherever you are right now. But where are the best places to find warm weather during winter months in the U.S.?
According to Lonely Planet, the American West is one of the best places to find warm weather in winter. Look no further than Southern California — just avoid the deteriorating bits — and you’ll likely find sunshine and surf this holiday season. If you want to avoid the crazy of California, go further in-land to Phoenix, Arizona, where temperatures are mild enough to walk the golf course in shorts and tees seemingly all year long.

As we move further eastwards, why not hit South Padre Island in Texas? “Get to South Padre Island before spring break, and you can enjoy Texas’ popular seaside resort town at its quietest. With multiple blinds, a viewing tower, and boardwalks through the dunes, the 50-acre South Padre Island Birding, Nature Center & Alligator Sanctuary is an ideal spot for watching feathered friends who overwinter here, as well as alligators and sea turtles,” writes Lonely Planet.
Florida, Duh
The Everglades, Key West, or why not hop a little further south and hit the U.S. Virgin Islands? “At the furthest end of the Florida Keys, Key West has a celebrated culture that attracts sun seekers from all over the USA. The 7-sq-mile oasis offers famed literary history, fresh seafood and plenty of hopping bars,” Lonely Planet adds.
Don’t forget to check out the Ernest Hemingway House if you do head to Florida. Say hi to the six-toed cats! (TAKE A POLL: Do You Enjoy Drinking Eggnog?)
