Hello Thejus and Kay, and a special hello to Jasmin and Jade! I've put together three very different ways to make your December getaway something to look forward to. Two are new resorts to discover, and one is a place you already know. Think big waterpark days, swim-up mornings, family adventures, and some well-earned time to relax together.

Let's start with Moon Palace The Grand Cancun. Jasmin and Jade, imagine heading to the waterslides after breakfast, riding the wave pool, or floating around the lazy river. You can also try the ProFlow Triple wave simulator, subject to the ride requirements.

When you want a break from the sun, the Playroom has bumper cars, neon mini golf, arcade games, a laser maze, a three-floor labyrinth and the Sky Trail ropes course. Its ground floor welcomes ages eight to seventeen, so there is plenty for both of you. Thejus and Kay, there are pools, restaurants and evening shows to enjoy together, and you can add a family bowling night for an extra charge.

The Grand is unusually inexpensive in Economy for these specific dates. December fourth to eleventh, in a Grand Deluxe Garden View room, is eleven thousand, four hundred and eighty-one dollars and forty-eight cents for the family, including taxes. Premium is not available for this option.

Now picture Nickelodeon Riviera Maya. Your oceanfront swim-up suite gives you pool access from your terrace. Aqua Nick is the largest Nickelodeon-themed water park in Mexico and Latin America, right here in the Riviera Maya. Race each other down the slides at Soak Summit Tower, float along the lazy river, or pick up the pace on the adventure river. At Bikini Bottom Beach, splash through water jets and interactive games, then join the Super Sliming celebration for that famous Nickelodeon green slime!

Jade can enjoy Club Nick, for ages four to twelve, while Jasmin has the larger waterpark attractions and family activities. Then come back together for slime parties, character encounters, Orange Carpet events and Slime Time Live, a family game-show experience. Imagine dancing the Slime Slide with Team Nick and getting covered in green slime together! You can also book a private family Super Sliming for an extra charge. Some special experiences cost extra, and attraction rules apply.

Your lowest quoted Nickelodeon Economy option is December seventh to fourteenth, at twelve thousand, five hundred and one dollars and eighty-four cents. For December fourteenth to twenty-first, Economy is thirteen thousand, six hundred and seventy-one dollars and eighty-four cents. Premium on those same dates is sixteen thousand, nine hundred and three dollars and eighty-four cents. These are totals for all four of you, including taxes.

And then there is Hotel Xcaret Mexico. You already know the beautiful river scenery and the freedom to explore the parks. A return visit could mean revisiting favourites, trying what you missed, and discovering newer pools and waterslides. This year Jasmin would have access to dedicated teen spaces.

Jasmin, Dixtrito thirteen seventeen has art, sport and tech experiences, and the teen rooftop has DJ music and alcohol-free drinks. For the whole family, there is time to explore the hotel, enjoy meals together and make the most of the All-Fun Inclusive park access and transportation.

And this time, we'll get a head start on planning together. Last time, Teatro del Rio and Sunday Brunch were fully booked before you arrived, and we could only confirm a regular table at Xin Gao rather than the teppanyaki experience. Xichen Deluxe also had to wait until arrival to be arranged with concierge. If those are still on your wish list, we can make them priorities this time, requesting reservations earlier and arranging any required payments in advance. Reservations will depend on availability, but getting started sooner gives us more time to plan the experiences you're most excited about, while leaving room to relax.

Your River View Suite with Premium flights, December fourteenth to twenty-first, is seventeen thousand, one hundred and sixty-three dollars and forty-eight cents for the family, including taxes.

Knowing you enjoy a comfortable flight, December fourteenth to twenty-first gives us the best Premium seat prices among these quoted options. Premium and Business seats are very limited for these dates, so if that extra comfort is a priority, I recommend booking soon while seats are still available. WestJet Premium includes roomier seating, meals and drinks, priority boarding, and two checked bags per traveller. Checked bags cost extra on the quoted WestJet Economy packages. Air Canada Vacations packages include a first checked bag, although these quotes are with WestJet.

All outbound flights leave Edmonton at eleven thirty in the morning and arrive in Cancun at six twenty-five in the evening. Your exact return flights and local times are shown with each quote.

The Grand is the value pick, Nickelodeon is the playful change of scenery, and Xcaret is the familiar favourite with a better plan this time. Have a look together, Thejus, Kay, Jasmin and Jade, and let me know which holiday has everyone most excited!
