All we want for Christmas is a vacation. While Mariah Carey might say otherwise, we’re sticking to our guns. Since 2020, we’ve been collectively entrenched in a raging pandemic with severe ebbs and flows and as a result, many of us are burnt out.

At Blavity News, we’re all about exercising self-care and what better way to do so than to vacation ( safely )? While COVID is still having an impact on travel plans, we can still dream, right? With the holiday season in full effect, we’ve decided to curate a list of dream vacation destinations that can cure all of our pandemic blues.
