To celebrate the promise of an early spring, or to help us get back into hibernation mode for a few more weeks of winter, online travel provider Extra Holidays has joined forces with the furry forecaster and his Inner Circle to offer 30% off seven-night stays at select sun and ski vacation club resort destinations – subject to Phil’s prediction – sure to help get everyone out of the winter blues.

On February 2, families can take in the highly anticipated outcome of Groundhog Day with 30% off a seven-night stay – with the location depending on the “Seer of Seers” prediction. If Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, families can enjoy a winter destination such as WorldMark Bend – Seventh Mountain Resort in Bend, Ore.; or, if he doesn’t, plan a warm weather getaway at a spring destination, like Club Wyndham Ocean Walk in Daytona Beach, Fla.

“Groundhog Day is a fun tradition that breaks the monotony of winter, bringing together friends and family over something we can all agree will make everyone’s life a bit brighter – a great weather forecast,” said Heena Patel, Vice President of Extra Holidays. “Especially this year, we know families need something fun to look forward to. A winter or spring family vacation at a resort that offers all the comforts of a home away from home will make the winter blues a thing of the past. Here’s to hoping for sunny, warm days in our near future – no matter what Phil sees.”

“The Punxsutawney Groundhog Inner Circle and Punxsutawney Phil are excited to partner with Extra Holidays to offer travelers a bright outlook. With Groundhog Day being virtual, we invite you to watch live on February 2 to see what Phil's prediction is and whether vacationers can enjoy a continued hibernation mode or a spring getaway this year," said Jeff Grube, Sky Painter Marketing Committee Head.
