The Christmas season is a time for family and celebration, where people travel far and wide to get together with their loved ones and enjoy the festivities. Holiday travel is at an all-time high during this period, with 2025 in particular breaking several travel records. The road is the most popular form of transport around Christmas, and luckily for drivers, gas prices are on their side. Travel increases enormously around the Christmas season During the festive season, people are on leave from work, on holiday from school or university, and are all able to travel at the same time to visit their families. For some families, this is one of the few times they can see all their relatives, so traveling far and wide is important to bring people together on this special occasion. It is wonderful to finally get everyone together, but due to the tradition of the holiday season, people are all traveling at similar times, and transportation systems and infrastructure are put under strain. The sheer number of people who are travelling by air, car, train, and bus is enormous, and travellers are reminded to remain safe and vigilant during these times. Unsurprisingly, car travel is the most popular form of transport around the holidays, with many people taking road trips as part of their vacation too. It is also cheaper than air travel, and is convenient when traveling with multiple people. Although roads are packed during Christmas, with this year actually reaching a record high, drivers can at least enjoy decreased gas prices and save a little money on these holiday car rides. Record-high drivers and record-low prices The American Automobile Associations year-end travel forecast projects: 109.5 million Americans will travel by car for their year-end trips, an increase of 2% compared to last year. Driving is the overwhelming favorite among all modes of transportation because of its convenience and low cost. This year, 89% of holiday travelers will take road trips. Debbie Haas, Vice President of Travel for AAA The Auto Club Group, gives some advice about this travel period: People are eager to travel this holiday season. Thats leading to record numbers on the roads and in the skies. Our advice is to plan ahead. Book early, allow extra time to reach your destination, and think about travel insurance. Although the increase in traffic on the roads may displease travellers, they can at least look forward to less expensive road trips, as gas prices fall quite substantially, an early Christmas present that drivers can enjoy. Gas prices fall to the lowest in the past 4 years Patrick De Haan from the popular crowdsourced fuel price app, GasBuddy, explains: Just ahead of Christmas, the national average stands at its lowest level since March 12, 2021, delivering weekly savings of nearly $400 million compared to this time last year. This decline could be due to the colder weather, although according to reports, some states are experiencing unusually dry weather. Colder weather usually means refiners produce more diesel, which creates gasoline as a byproduct. If gasoline demand doesnt skyrocket too much, this can mean a lower gas price during this time. This lower price is in line with Donald Trumps aims for the people of America, to whom he is dedicated to providing affordable living. So while Christmas time is the busiest it has ever been on the roads, and drivers must take care while driving for their own safety, and for those around them, these lower gas prices are certainly a nice festive bonus. Drivers must also watch out not to violate this rule during the Christmas period to avoid fines during their vacation.
