I'd like to spend Christmas day abroad one year (maybe this year if prices are reasonable). I have never been away at Christmas before.
I would like a destination where businesses (shops, attractions and transport) is open as normal on Christmas day.
I do not drive and it will be a solo trip. A bit of sun would be a bonus. Any recommendations?

Canaries. We go to lanzarote for new year and absolutely everything is open, its their busiest time of year.0

Also expensive as not only families but also many older generations choose to holiday/long stay and many hotels are booked up 6/8 months in advance0

A non Christian country would seem to be a good bet.

Anywhere in Spain will be fairly open especially in the tourist areas. Christmas Day is treated like a bank holiday here with bars and restaurants open and public transport running even if on a reduced timetable. One of the best Christmas Days I've ever had was in Barcelona.
Just be warned though that it will be expensive. I used to regularly go abroad for Xmas/New Year but the prices have now got too high.0 -

The UK is unusual in completely shutting down on Christmas Day. You'll find it business as usual in Vienna for example0
