OP - part of growing up is realizing you can’t get everything you want.

Your wife doesn’t want to travel with a 13 month old at Christmas (completely fair decision), be glad she’s confident enough in your relationship that she’s okay  with you missing Christmas. .   Your daughter won’t notice, so it’s about you, not your daughter, not your wife.  So you have to pick, it’s not fair to guilt your wife into going.

We did a reasonable amount of traveling with our child when she was under 2 (and still do), and from being very mobile (walking, basically) to 2.5 was the hardest, especially with long flights.   Traveling at Christmas sucks no matter what the circumstances.   Coming back from a week vacation, that you don’t have vacation time for, exhausted, and jumping back into work/parenting, sounds awful.  These are all likely reasons your wife doesn’t want to go.
