"The best places to go for Christmas are destinations that offer cheerful decorations and festive events that capture the holiday joy — and it doesn't hurt if there's also beautiful scenery. Not to mention, with many of these ideal Christmas destinations located across the country, you're only a road trip away from a perfect December vacation."

A popular South Florida destination was featured on the list: the Florida Keys! Here's why it was chosen:

"With pleasantly warm December weather, the Florida Keys are an ideal escape for those looking to spend the holidays in a U.S. beach destination. Take a scenic road trip through the Florida Keys, stopping at islands en route to famous Key West. December is a popular time to visit these beautiful islands, so you may want to opt for a secluded stay at Sunset Key Cottages. To get to this charming resort, guests take a ferry from Key West to the 27-acre island. Upon arriving, you'll find serenity just a short ride from the attractions of Key West."
