Help me find somewhere for Christmas 2017!

I'm looking for somewhere for the 4 of us to go this year from Boxing Day to 2nd Jan - all ideas welcome!

Family drove us mad last Christmas (with one thing and another) so we said that we're going to try and get away from it all this year.

I've looked at loads of different options from another week in Florida just doing Universal that comes out at no less than £4000 to a few days in Madrid for about £1000 and everything in between including crusies, Maderia, Canries etc. But I can't decide.

I'd love to do Norway and the northern lights but it's expensive just for 3 days! And then I think it would be nice to get some winter sun but we're really not Thomson/Thomas Cook resort type people (so no kids clubs)

So any ideas? It'll be me, my DH, DS 11 and DD 9.

We did NYC this Christmas just gone. Costwise you are looking at similar to Universal.

Last Christmas we did 3 nights Cocoa Beach and a week Treasure Island. We did KSC and Busch Hardens but spent most of the time on the Beach body boarding!

Both were fabulous holidays!

We have done Lanzarote twice over Christmas. Lovely and warm (mid 20's), plenty to do. Really enjoyed it both times, Shortish flight, no jet lag.
