A variety of other festive meals and holiday programs are on offer as well.

The starting rate at The Plaza for Christmas week is $2,395 per night.

The Plaza, Fifth Avenue at Central Park South, New York One&Only Nyungwe House: Rwanda Treehouses and villas are tucked amid mountains and lush greenery at One&Only Nyungwe House in the wilds of Rwanda, where birdwatching and treks with chimpanzees are big draws in the adjacent national park.

Holiday guests are invited to traditional events, including basket weaving, Imigongo painting workshops and lively dance performances.

In addition to a range of Christmas meals, the resort also hosts East African feast dinners and barbecues showcasing African flavors.

Peak season rates start at $3,250. Ice skating, Santa experiences and a new Starlights “glowshow” are just part of the annual Christmas at the Princess festival. Add 10 million lights, a train and more: It’s safe to say Fairmont Scottsdale Princess doesn’t believe in holding back for the holidays.

Rooms start at $485. There are also holiday packages available.
