SILVER SPRING, Md., Oct. 21, 2025 -- TripMasters unveils its 2025/2026 Best Winter Packages—inviting travelers to experience the magic of Europe in its most enchanting season. From snow-dusted Christmas Markets to Alpine ski escapes and historic cities aglow with festive lights, TripMasters' Winter 2025 European Launch offers exclusive savings on flights, hotels, and tours across the continent.

While Europe's summer season continues to attract global visitors, TripMasters reports a surge in winter interest among travelers seeking the best value winter vacations at top winter destinations. Winter travel offers a rare blend of lower airfare and hotel rates, shorter lines at top attractions, and a more intimate experience with local culture.

In an article published by Yahoo Finance, according to TUI, Europe's largest tour operator, winter 2025/26 bookings are already up compared to last year, signaling resilient demand for winter travel across Europe.

Among TripMasters' most anticipated launches are its Christmas Market itineraries, which combine festive traditions with scenic beauty. Highlights include:

Each itinerary can be fully customized through TripMasters' online platform, allowing travelers to add guided tours, private transfers, or extra city stays to fit their schedule and style.

TripMasters' new Top Winter Destinations collection also shines a spotlight on Europe's most breathtaking ski regions : Switzerland, Austria, France, and Italy, offering experiences from cozy alpine villages to glamorous resorts. Packages include Zermatt, Innsbruck, St. Moritz, Chamonix, and Cortina d'Ampezzo, with optional train routes connecting the mountains to nearby cultural capitals.
