December 20, 2011 * Holiday premiums of up to 92 per cent to some of the most popular winter sun destinations
* Average price of a winter sun family holiday is 39 per cent or £1,287 more expensive during school Christmas holidays
* UK hotels drop prices by up to 27 per cent over the same period

This is equivalent to, on average, an extra £1,287 for a family of four.
