Beautiful Holiday Travel Photos
Chris and Danika—the couple behind Instagram account @nodestinations—tagged a Vienna photo #howiholiday, answering the call of Travel + Leisure and other Time Inc. publications (including Food & Wine, Coastal Living, Southern Living, All You, and MyRecipes.com) for followers to share images of how they enjoy the holidays.
T+L’s followers have been tackling any winter blues head-on. Whether they’re hitting the ice-blue slopes in Interlaken, Switzerland, like @curiosityandacarryon, admiring the first snow in New York City like @thetaylorgrant, or bike riding under a bright sky in Tulum, Mexico, like @laurenswells, travelers are finding plenty of ways to make merry.
For others, wintertime inspires time in the kitchen, baking seasonal treats. We’d love to sample @gaminecuisine’s selection of apple cranberry pies, fresh cookies, and cups of tea. @littlemirandapiggy bakes for the child in each of us, creating gingerbread Christmas cookies.
Whether you’re surrounded by snow, sand, or baking materials, share your festive photos on Instagram with #howiholiday, and we may add them to this slideshow.
