A Family Thanksgiving Abroad: 4 Great Destinations

Thanksgiving with the Family: South Korea

Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday to spend with the family. With school holidays and time off of work, everyone’s got the chance to head home for turkey and cranberry sauce. But if you just find yourself dreading the Thanksgiving traffic and crazy airfare, it may be time to change things up.

Since everyone typically flies domestically for this American holiday, international flights tend to be overlooked—and therefore, cheaper. Do something different this holiday with a trip that will give you plenty to be grateful for. Here are 4 great family destinations for a Thanksgiving abroad.

Canada

Admittedly an obvious choice for a trip abroad. But Yellowknife, Canada is sure to make a great Thanksgiving weekend trip because you’ll be able to catch the famous Northern Lights. As you cozy up with your family in the snowy Northern Territories, drink in the spectacular light show that will leave you breathless. Take advantage of the holiday weekend, and read why now’s the best time to see the Aurora Borealis. You can book either a 5-Day, 4-Day, or 3-Day Northern Lights Canada tour with KKday.

South Korea is full of incredible landscapes, city attractions, and great food. And while the country is beautiful year-round, it’s quite an experience to see it in the Autumn. With family friendly cities (READ: Why You Should Take Your Family to Busan), cozy villages you can stay in, and stunning fall foliage, South Korea is a great place away from home to feel the spirit of Thanksgiving.
