Be it beach getaways or watching guilty pleasure movies (you know which ones we mean) with your family, the holidays bring out the best in December. This month includes homages to Frank Sinatra while Coldplay, with a little help from Beyoncé, releases an album. Meanwhile, cities around the world are lighting up with holiday decor and lifting everyones’ spirits.
