With picture-perfect tropical beaches, lush jungles, tea-covered hills, world-class culinary scenes, and vibrant shopping, Asia offers a festive season escape for every taste and budget. For Australian and New Zealand travellers still searching for an unforgettable Christmas getaway, destination specialist Adventure World has revealed there is still time to book a festive journey to Vietnam, Sri Lanka, or Cambodia for 2026.
Combining deep destination expertise, immersive cultural experiences, and handpicked accommodation, Adventure World’s tailor-made itineraries offer three distinct ways to celebrate this Christmas holidays away from home.
“There’s a perception that you need to have your Christmas holiday locked in months in advance, but there are still some great options available across Asia,” said Eric Findlay, Product Manager, Asia at Adventure World.
“Vietnam, Sri Lanka, and Cambodia each offer something completely different at this time of year—whether that’s combining the festive atmosphere of Ho Chi Minh City with a few days on the beach, travelling through Sri Lanka’s beautiful tea country, or exploring the temples of Angkor. For travellers still deciding what to do this Christmas, there’s definitely still time to make it happen”, adds Findlay.
