No one commits more to the most wonderful time of the year ALL YEAR than these American towns. Check off how many you've been to!
The post office in “America’s Christmas Hometown” receives thousands of letters to Santa every year, which are answered by volunteers (or “Santa’s Elves” as they call themselves).
The Incredible Christmas Place has everything you need (plus everything you don’t need) to stock up for Christmas all year round. Feeling tired, yet festive? Book a room across the street at the Christmas Inn, open since 2007.
Fittingly, this town was founded on Christmas Eve In 1741. Overlooking the town from nearby South Mountain is an electric star, glowing 365 nights a year since 1937. Its initial purpose was to boost tourism. That same year, the town’s Chamber of Commerce named Bethlehem “Christmas City, U.S.A.”
Situated 45 miles south of the Canadian border in the Adirondacks, this adorable little hamlet technically belongs to the town of Wilmington. However, North Pole is home to Santa’s Workshop amusement park, which has been in business since 1949.
Frankenmuth, Michigan is not only a darling chip off the old Bavarian block; it’s also home to the world’s largest Christmas store, Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland. Need something Christmas-y whenever? Bronners has over 50,000 items “for all seasons, reasons, and budgets!”
Not to be confused with North Pole, New York, this Alaskan town keeps its Christmas decorations — including candy cane street lights — up year-round. The streets have darling holiday names like “Mistletoe Lane” and “Kris Kringle Drive.” Even more darling? Santa Claus House, a world famous store located on St. Nicholas Drive.
