When crooner Andy Williams singled Christmas out as “the most wonderful time of the year”, his muses were Xmas perennials like carol-singers, mistletoe and toasted marshmallows. Festive season in Asia doesn’t offer so much in the way of cozy Yuletide classics. But its bounty of unforgettable landscapes and experiences is certain to instil a heart-warming glow. Travelers who visit Asia for the holidays can take advantage of friendly temperatures perfect for everything from trekking in the emerald mountains of northern Thailand to desert safaris in the Middle East, beach time in The Philippines, and skiing in Japan. The options are nearly limitless.
