winter escape

Cold-weather vacation destination

A winter escape is a trip to a warmer destination during cold months, typically to flee snow, gray skies, and freezing temperatures.

The phrase implies temporary refuge rather than permanent relocation: We're planning a winter escape to Arizona, The Caribbean is popular for winter escapes.

It suggests both physical warmth and psychological relief from seasonal dreariness.
