A winter wedding usually means a winter honeymoon as well. Many couples opt to escape the cold and head to tropical destinations around the world. However, a growing number of newlyweds are hopping on board one of the biggest winter getaway trends: cold weather vacations.

These chilly destinations make for romantic post-wedding trips, where skiing, spas and fireside drinks are never far away.
