Oh, there’s no place like Travel Hacker Destinations for the holidays…

We’re back at it again with the 2nd Annual KAYAK Holiday Travel Hacker Guide. Because whether you’re looking to ring in the New Year in a hot locale or want to plan a family vacation that won’t break the bank, we have the information you need to make the right decisions. We’ve combed through our data to find the where, when and how much of 2016 holiday travel. With top ten destinations for four key categories, you can begin planning your best holiday (travel) season, yet.

Let’s get this Travel Party Started.

Top Trending New Year’s Eve Destinations

Take the ringing in of 2017 to a whole new level with these hot cities seeing the biggest increase in searches for NYE this year vs last. Then lace up those dancing shoes and prepare to celebrate in style (and maybe pack a parka if you venture to our #1 destination).

Most Popular Beach Destinations

If you find yourself fatigued due to lack of Vitamin D or are daydreaming over your co-worker’s vacation photos, these beachy escapes will get you the dose of sand and sun you need. Our list features beach destinations that have seen the most search traffic during the holidays — so you know you’re picking a hotspot. Coming out on top is a tropical paradise that celebrates the holiday season with bevvies of carolers singing “Feliz Navidad” among the palm trees.

International Wallet-Friendly Destinations

Holiday leaving a hole in your pocket? Even if you overindulged, these international cities won’t break the bank. We found the top destinations with the lowest median airfare outside of the US, Canada and Mexico so you can have a holly jolly holiday on your budget. Our top city on the list is known for its laid-back, surf-culture vibe but kicks things up a notch (or five) when the holidays come around.

US Wallet-Friendly Destinations

Maybe you need a getaway that doesn’t require a passport (and won’t take all your spending money). These cities still manage to pack in the holiday cheer while going easy on your wallet. Our top 10 cities offer the lowest median airfare stateside so you don’t have to go far to get away. And securing its spot at the top of the list is a town that knows a thing or two about holiday sparkle.
