Always tricky – look for decorations that hang on the wall – fold out tinsel banners won’t be hard to pack but can look special.

Wall decals. Tinsel. A small Xmas tree. One of those light things that sparkle light colour and shapes onto the walls and ceiling

Avoid the hotel room as much as possible, just for showering and sleeping if possible

doN’t use a hotel – use an apartment perhaps (often not much more expensive). Or airbnb. Otherwise take something like a tent for them.

Great ideas here. I love the miniature Christmas tree and tinsel idea.

Good topic!Really interesting reading the comments to this!

Christmas carols and lots of love, hope you had a wonderful christmas with them

Lots of tinsel everywhere will bring out the Xmas spirit.

A small fibre optic tree and some Christmas music on your phone. A nice Christmas dinner out somewherewould also be a nice idea

what did you end up doing

there are some good comments here

We had a miniture fibre optic christmas tree. It was so pretty and really helped to make our hotel room festive.

thanks for the tips. we are travelling next christmas so it’s great to have these ideas. i have also been told some hotels will put up a tree (and perhaps decorate the room a bit) if you request it.

the felt tree is a great idea – and good advice too about making sure you have something planned for Christmas lunch/dinner.

Hope it all went well for you
