Flights from New York to Mexico for Christmas

Christmas in Mexico means the beach resorts at their fullest and priciest, with Cancún, Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta sold out early for the week between the holidays. Mexico City and Oaxaca are the other Christmas: posadas, cooler nights and far better fares.
