It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and with holiday shopping in full swing, the hunt for perfect gifts is on. But what if the best present isn’t wrapped in shiny paper? Airbnb suggests thinking beyond the box – literally – with unforgettable stays. From jetsetters to wellness gurus, their curated collection of stays ensures there’s something for everyone.
In addition, Airbnb’s new festive campaign, Santastrophe, cleverly contrasts the Christmas magic of staying at an Airbnb versus a hotel, emphasizing how the platform’s unique homes can make holidays even merrier – and even Santa-friendly.
The Gift of Travel: Affordable Stays for Every Taste
With over 83% of surveyed guests prioritizing price when booking, Airbnb has made it easier to spread holiday cheer with options under $250 a night. Their Guest Favorite Collection offers stays ranging from lakeside escapes in Argentina to cozy Christmas-themed cabins in Alaska. Whether it’s a beachside retreat or a treehouse covered in snow, these stays promise memorable experiences tailored to each traveler’s style.
For the Jetsetter
For the globetrotter, trending destinations like Krabi, Thailand, and Sälen, Sweden, offer luxury villas and scenic mountain views, perfect for a year-end adventure.
For the Christmas Enthusiast
Some people can’t wait for the holidays to start. Listings like the Elf House in North Pole, Alaska, and the Christmas Cabin in New York are decked out in festive cheer all year round, making every day feel like Christmas morning.
For the Home Chef
Stays with standout kitchens, such as the Luxury Cottage in Lavenham, UK, or the Panorama Mountain Home in Costa Rica, allow aspiring chefs to whip up festive feasts and perfect their holiday cookie recipes.
For the Wellness Guru
Wellness enthusiasts can unwind with options like a retreat featuring wood barrel saunas in Poland or a private hot tub overlooking nature in South Korea. Every day can be a spa day with these rejuvenating escapes.
For the Design Lover
For aesthetes who love Instagram-worthy spaces, listings like a hidden gem amongst wineries in Australia or a stunning forest-view home in Brazil will inspire and delight with their unique architecture and interiors.
A Santa-Friendly Stay: The ‘Santastrophe’ Campaign
To complement their holiday offerings, Airbnb’s Santastrophe campaign humorously highlights the chaos Santa encounters when delivering presents to a hotel. Narrated in the style of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, the ad playfully contrasts the seamless joy of an Airbnb stay – from ample space for a Christmas tree to functional chimneys.
Running across social media, TV, and cinema in countries including the UK, US, and Australia, the campaign underscores how Airbnb helps make the holidays stress-free for travelers and Santa alike.
Planning Made Simple
Airbnb has also introduced shared wishlists, letting families and friends collaboratively plan their ideal holiday getaway. Co-travelers can vote on listings, leave notes, and streamline the booking process for a stress-free experience.
With these thoughtful listings and a touch of Christmas magic, Airbnb makes it easy to gift the most cherished thing of all this holiday season – time spent together in unforgettable places. Whether you’re planning for a beach bum or a snow bunny, the perfect stay awaits.
