Sparkling Christmas Towns: Best Family Christmas Vacations

Some parts of the world showcase determination and energy to welcome the Christmas season. Some entire villages and towns gear up with Christmas cheer and sparkling decorations. These phenomenal destinations are dedicated to festivities and year-long celebrations

Within US

Christmas, Florida, USA

The warm and sunny Florida is perhaps a respite from the biting cold of some parts of the USA, but it is not known for its Christmassy spirits. But right here, in this land of kind winter, is a quaint little town named Christmas, a community of about 1100 people, that upholds the celebrations all year round. There is a permanent Christmas tree here, decorated and showcased all year round. A perfect start to your adventures as the vacation rings in.

Santa Claus, Indiana, USA

Although there are several places in the US named Santa Claus, the most Christmassy one is the one in Indiana. A peculiar town that stays true to the Yuletide theme throughout the year, you can expect festive items on display starting from Santa’s Candy Castle and Santa Claus Museum to a post office that receives thousands of letters addressed to Santa every year.

North Pole, Alaska, USA

Expect festivities, parades, and the colors of Christmas even during summers. Not 2000 miles away from home, the experience of North Pole is right here inside the country.

Out in the world:

Rovaniemi, Finland

If you are ready to take the Christmas party outside USA, you might find things getting a bit more realistic. In the Suomi city of Rovaniemi, you can meet Mr. Klause himself, yes the original one-and-only Santa, at Santa Claus Village. With the Arctic Circle being just a few miles away, expect a white Christmas here with plenty of opportunities to sleigh and enjoy your stay in a glass igloo.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany

A magical enclave plonked in between Munich and Frankfurt, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, is a fine destination for a fancy Christmas getaway, any time of the year. The enchantment it beholds, and stories that lie in its belly, makes Rothenburg a mystery indeed, that needs to be celebrated. Home to the German Christmas Museum, it is a fine display of traditions and history. During the Yuletide season, you can also have the chance to enjoy the annual Reiterlesmarkt, an exhibition of Europe’s best Christmas Markets.
