As Saga Holidays celebrates its 75th birthday in 2026, it is reintroducing a collection of festive breaks as part of a return to its UK holidays heritage, featuring 12 cosy hotels from Inverness to St Helier.
*All details correct at time of publish (31 March 2026)
Each is for four nights on a full board basis from the 23rd December, and includes a welcome drink, Christmas lunch with all the trimmings, two nights of live entertainment, and a hand-picked excursion as standard.
The festivities begin from the moment customers open their front door, thanks to Saga’s award-winning door-to-door chauffeur service – unique to UK holidays of this kind, and also included in every booking as standard – which takes them from their house to their chosen hotel, and returns them at the end of their holiday.
Saga Travel’s CEO Nigel Blanks comments: “As Saga celebrates its 75th birthday, we’re bringing back some of our most popular holidays, including these Christmas breaks in some of the UK’s best locations.
“Since we were founded, we’ve paid attention to the little details that make a big difference, so customers who book one of these holidays can be assured of a festive experience to remember. We look forward to welcoming them.”
Examples of Saga Holidays’ Christmas breaks include the following:
