There are eight islands to choose from for your next holiday in the Canary Islands, including Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, and La Graciosa.
The islands are all located in the Atlantic Ocean and are just a four-hour journey from the UK.
The Canary Islands attract over 12 million UK tourists a year, and for good reason.
Even in December, you can expect long hours of sunshine and temperatures of 20 to 25°C.
There are also fewer crowds, so you won’t have to fight for a spot on the beach, and all of the attractions, shops and bars are still open.
There are deals for every budget, from self-catering to half-board and all-inclusive.
The biggest bargain we’ve found is seven nights at TUI SUNEO Tamaimo Tropical in Tenerife, costing from £282pp.
The deal works out at £40pp a night on a self-catered basis departing on December 6 from Stansted.
