If you’ve ever watched
The Nightmare Before Christmas and yearned to visit the fictional Christmas Town—a magical place sprinkled with lights, laughter, and holiday cheer—you’re in luck. Similar places exist in real life across the United States.
From snow-powdered mountains to towering pines to themed gift shops and fresh baked goods, you can plan a trip to one (or two, or three) of these destinations and expect to see it all. (As we all know, the pandemic is still ongoing. So, if you plan to make a holiday haul, do plenty of research on up-to-date travel restrictions and potential event cancellations.)
