Exclamation Las Vacaciones

Hi,

My daughter has to do a monologue for her exam. The title is set for her and it is about holidays (not too original, but plenty of scope). Her opening sentence is 'My favourite type of holiday is one with cold weather and lots of snow'. At the moment she has 'Mi tipo favorito de vacaciones es uno con clima frío y mucha nieve'. If holiday was a normal singular noun in Spanish, I would feel happy with this (apart from possibly 'favorita' instead of 'favorito', 'una' instead of 'uno' - and what about 'tipo' is there a 'tipa'?).

However, because vacacinones is always plural, how far reaching is the agreement with the noun. Should it be 'Mis tipos(as?) favoritas de vacaciones son unos (can't be because this means 'some' - does it have to become 'those' - 'esas' to agree with the plural noun?) con clima etc.'

As you can see i would appreciate a bit of help from a native speaker - she has the test on Monday, so it's pretty urgent - sorry and thanks.

Many thanks for your kind help.
