The turkeys are defrosting, presents are wrapped, the M&S sale has started, and PR teams across the travel industry are watching to see if they’ve managed to get a bit of festive coverage.
Yes, it’s that time of year again when TravelMole is inundated with Christmas-themed press releases and pictures and, feeling in a generous mood, we’ve decided to publish some of our favourites.
As usual, the PR wizards and photoshop experts at Ryanair have pulled out all the stops to create this jolly picture, celebrating the airline’s new ‘North Pole base’.
Is that O’Leary behind that beard?
One annual worldwide flight, it says, will carry one passenger (Santa), nine reindeer and billions of presents, departing and returning on 24 December "ensuring the children of the world receive their presents a little earlier this year, thanks to Ryanair’s outstanding on-time record".
Meanwhile, Thomson Cruises sent us this photograph of Santa at sea.
According to its release, Santa gave his reindeer a break and took to a jetski to deliver presents to the kids on board the Thomson Dream in the Caribbean this Christmas.
Fancy a Caribbean Christmas? Or, like TravelMole’s Editor Bev Fearis, would you prefer to go to the winter wonderland of Lapland to meet the REAL Santa. See her photo story here.
