Golden sun, savory pies and iconic stadiums - what else would an supporter of the English team desire?
Well, perhaps an contest for the urn in Australia where they remain in contention to win back the Ashes after the first three Tests.
Unfortunately, this scenario is off the table on this occasion, however, after the hosts' dominant triumph in Adelaide left the home side leading three-nil for the fourth consecutive series on their own soil.
England's famous supporters' group, England's supporters' group, have thousands of supporters traveling for the concluding fixtures in the SCG and MCG.
In addition, there are organized trips who will be vacationing overseas, as well as loved ones embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Four fans named Alex, Sam, Rory and Katie are among those affected.
The group had their itineraries and entry credentials arranged for the Melbourne and Sydney matches "well ahead of time", anticipating a rare England series success.
Instead, they have watched Australia outplay the visitors in just a short period from their house in Penwortham, Lancashire.
"All my colleagues has been teasing me regarding the concluded contest for the last two weeks," said Sam.
"We always thought that we would have a meaningful contest by the time we arrived."
Optimism was high regarding the team's prospects of ending their 15-year wait for a triumph on Australian soil before it began.
However, the situation is now looking at the possibility of prolonging a streak without victory in the country to 19 matches when the next match starts in Melbourne on Thursday, 25 December.
The England team - and their supporters - will be hoping to sidestep a whitewash.
It was mentioned that the "excitement and fun" of head coach the aggressive 'Bazball' approach in recent times had "reinvigorated" the longest format for followers of the team.
However, the group said they had low expectations for the remaining matches - and all they are requesting from the players is "some resilience".
"All analysts alludes to it, but it all hinges on psychological strength. 'This style has been turned into a buzzword now that is just, like, impractical batting," commented another sibling.
"In a five-day Test match, you should hunker down. Chasing balls 'outside the line has never featured in the coaching manuals, and that is mainly the fault the top order."
When questioned if he believed England will secure a victory in the current series, one fan responded: "It looks like the Australians are superior at the moment."
"Necessarily, there must be several individuals that stands up for England and turns the game."
Despite the scoreline, the siblings are still looking forward to the trip.
"It will be a great time anyway," commented Katie Ryding. "We must adopt that attitude."
"Naturally, it's a let-down we aren't fighting for more, but we have invested a significant amount by now."
"We plan to savor celebrating the holidays out there. It is also a new experience for us abroad at this time of year."
A teacher, Katie is focused on enjoying the lengthy journey as part of her time off.
"As a backup plan, I've got golf to fall back on," Katie concluded.
