Why wait until 25th December to enjoy the magic of Christmas?
There’s something rather special about Christmas - the twinkling lights, festive food, Christmas markets, live entertainment and that wonderful feeling of being able to sit back and enjoy yourself.
But what if you could enjoy all of that without the usual Christmas stress?
With a Turkey and Tinsel holiday from Grand UK Holidays, you can enjoy a taste of Christmas before the big day arrives. From traditional festive meals and seasonal entertainment to exciting excursions and beautiful destinations, our Turkey and Tinsel breaks are designed to give you all the festive cheer, without the cooking, cleaning and organising.
And perhaps best of all, they offer fantastic value for money, with so much included in the price.
Christmas comes early!
A Turkey and Tinsel break is your chance to enjoy the Christmas season a little earlier – and you don’t have to wait until December 25th to get into the festive spirit.
Imagine arriving at your hotel, settling into your comfortable room and being welcomed with a warm, festive atmosphere. Then, instead of worrying about the Christmas shopping or preparing dinner, you can simply relax and enjoy yourself.
Depending on your chosen holiday, you could enjoy festive meals, live entertainment, seasonal quizzes, pantomimes and plenty of opportunities to meet fellow travellers and make new friends.
And because you’re travelling with Grand UK Holidays, your journey is looked after from the moment you leave your local joining point. Our experienced Tour Managers are there to help make your holiday as enjoyable and relaxing as possible.
Great value, with more included
When you’re comparing the cost of a short break, it’s easy to look at the headline price and forget about everything else you’ll need to pay for.
That’s where a Grand UK Turkey and Tinsel holiday really comes into its own.
Your holiday can include:
- Coach travel with reserved seating
- Free local joining points
- Experienced Tour Manager
- Half board accommodation
- Festive meals and entertainment as stated
- Included excursions
- Christmas markets, pantomimes or other festive attractions where stated
- Coach Miles loyalty points
- Full financial protection through ABTA
So rather than booking accommodation and then adding travel, excursions and entertainment separately, you have a ready-made festive break with many of the important elements already included.
It’s a wonderfully easy way to enjoy a Christmas getaway while keeping an eye on your holiday budget.
Five days of festive fun from £439
Our 2026 Turkey and Tinsel collection includes a range of five-day breaks, with prices starting from just £439 per person.

Leave the cooking to others!
Perhaps one of the biggest advantages of a Turkey and Tinsel holiday is simply being able to relax.
There’s no Christmas dinner to prepare. No mountains of washing up. No need to organise entertainment. No worrying about what to do each day.
Instead, you can enjoy a delicious festive meal, raise a glass with new friends, take in some live entertainment and simply soak up the atmosphere.
And with excursions included on your chosen itinerary, there’s plenty of opportunity to get out and explore too.
Whether you’re travelling with a partner, a friend or as part of a group, Turkey and Tinsel is a wonderful way to enjoy the social side of Christmas - without any of the usual pressures.
