Ideas for Christmas travel?

Planning trip with parents for ~1 week over Christmas. Have done Iceland and various Caribbean / Central American spots in semi recent years, looking for cool new ideas. Considering places like Japan, Switzerland, Italy, etc. Could be a mix of adventurous and chill. Anybody have cool destination ideas for that time of year?

England/Scotland/Ireland always seem like Christmas destinations for me. Something about that area of the world. 

Switzerland could be cool though from a "winter destination" perspective.

I feel like Christmas is the one time of year that cold is acceptable
