Its colorful festivals are among the finest attractions in Europe. Here's a shortlist of
European festivals in December:

December is probably the best month to fly all the way to France. This is when the
Festival of Lights is held in the city of Lyon. The festival illuminates the whole city,
emphasizing the best landmarks in France through its creative displays. The entire place
becomes magical with its creative illumination, from bridges with light beams to glimmering
local hotspots .
Les Arcs European Film Festival
Aside from the French Alps and the famous ski holiday, there's one more reason to go visit
Les Arcs this December-- the Les Arcs European Film Festival. It is the first European
film festival whose aim is to introduce new European talents and showcase the developments
in the European film-making industry.
Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival (Bruges)
The winter season in Bruges, Belgium marks one of the most exciting events of the year--
the Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival. See the masterpiece of professional ice sculptors
dotting the train station square in Bruges. The event features the "ICE FANTASY" made by
artists out of clear ice and fresh snow. This is staged at a temperature-controlled hall.
With these festivals, planning a European tour or holiday in December seems like a good
idea to explore and discover the nest of European art, be it in film-making or the frosty
art.
