Travel Traditions That Make the Holidays Unforgettable
The Season of Travel and Traditions
As the holidays approach, families everywhere start planning gatherings, getaways, and festive traditions. For some, it’s traveling home to see loved ones. For others, it’s packing up for an adventure that becomes a yearly ritual.
Here at Kingdom Travel Club (KTC), we believe holiday travel is about more than destinations—it’s about creating traditions that shape your family’s story for generations. With a KTC membership, holiday trips become not only possible but affordable, sustainable, and more rewarding than ever.
Our Family Tradition: Skiing in the Sierra Nevada Mountains
In my family, skiing has become our anchor tradition. Each winter, we load up the car and make the seven-hour drive to the Sierra Nevada mountains. Along the way, we have rituals we never skip—like stopping at Schat’s Bakery, grabbing treats for the week, and doing our grocery run together.
We always stay in the same cozy condo overlooking a small lake. Across the water sits the ski resort where we’ve created countless memories: teaching our kids to ski, laughing around the fire after a long day, and soaking in the beauty of snowy mountains.
This trip is more than skiing—it’s our family story. It’s the heartbeat of our holidays, a tradition that gives us something to anticipate all year.
Why Travel Traditions Matter
Holiday travel traditions are powerful because they:
Create anticipation: Kids look forward to them every year.
Anchor family identity: “We’re the family that goes skiing at Christmas” or “We always road trip for Thanksgiving.”
Outlast material gifts: Toys fade, clothes wear out—but the memory of a family trip never leaves.
Travel isn’t just a luxury—it’s the glue that holds families closer, even as life gets busier.
The Magic of Holiday Travel
What makes holiday travel so special?
Shared Experiences: Road trips, airports, or even long drives become part of the memory.
Traditions in Action: Stopping at the same café, visiting the same town, or booking the same cabin each year creates rhythm and comfort
The Unexpected Joys: Sometimes the unplanned moments—like laughing through a snowstorm or playing games when the power goes out—become the best stories.
This is why families crave travel. They aren’t chasing miles; they’re chasing moments.
Travel Traditions vs. Holiday Shopping
Every year, billions are spent on holiday gifts that end up forgotten by spring. But families who invest in travel traditions build legacies.
Gifts fade.
Experiences grow richer over time.
When you choose travel over more “stuff,” you give your family the gift of joy, connection, and lifelong memories.
How KTC Makes Traditions Possible
This is where Kingdom Travel Club shines. Families want to create travel traditions, but cost and planning often get in the way. KTC removes the barriers:
KTC Membership: Unlocks exclusive travel savings and perks.
Travel Coins: Every dollar you pay builds rewards that you can use for hotels, resorts, and experiences. Think of it as a prepaid memory fund.
KTC Great Escapes: Monthly curated trips at unbeatable value (like 4-night getaways for less than one night at a regular resort).
Travel Lifestyle Membership: Makes travel not a once-a-year luxury but a lifestyle you can sustain.
With KTC, family traditions are no longer limited by price or stress.
Holiday Travel Ideas to Inspire New Traditions
Not sure where to start? Here are some family-friendly holiday travel traditions to spark inspiration:
Ski Getaways: Like our Sierra Nevada trips, a yearly ski tradition offers activity, cozy evenings, and family bonding.
Beach for Christmas: Trade snow for sand—spend Christmas morning on the shore.
Cabin Weekends: Rent the same cabin every Thanksgiving for a rustic, unplugged holiday.
City Lights Tours: Visit a new city each December to explore its holiday markets and lights.
KTC Great Escapes: Let KTC do the planning and take your family on a curated adventure each year.
Stress-Free Holiday Travel with KTC
Holiday travel often comes with crowds and chaos—but KTC members enjoy peace of mind:
Affordable rates that make trips possible even during peak season.
Travel Coins that reduce costs and increase frequency.
A supportive community of fellow travelers sharing tips and traditions.
Instead of stressing about expenses, you can focus on what matters most: being together.
Legacy: What Travel Traditions Leave Behind
At the end of our lives, it won’t be the gifts under the tree we remember—it will be the trips. The laughter in the car. The sunrise on the slopes. The meals shared in a rented cabin.
Travel traditions leave a legacy. They tell your children and grandchildren that family comes first, that memories matter, and that connection is worth the effort.
The Best Gift You Can Give
As you plan this holiday season, ask yourself: will you invest in more “stuff” that fades—or in memories that last forever?
With Kingdom Travel Club, you have everything you need to start a tradition this year. Whether it’s booking a KTC Great Escape, redeeming your Travel Coins, or simply committing to a new annual getaway, KTC makes traditions not only possible but powerful.
🎁 This holiday season, the best gift you can give is a tradition of travel.
