We've compiled a list of some of the best towns offering holiday spirit this season. So if you're looking to find your slice of a winter wonderland or have one last hurrah before the hustle-and-bustle begins, head out today!
Aspen, Colorado
Aspen is famous for being a ski destination. It is also known as Rocky Mountain town. And it is actually the merriest town in the country. The city celebrates twelve days of Christmas, from Dec 20 to Dec 31. Here you can walk down Cooper avenue and witness cookie exchanges, people in elf costumes, and firepits that everyone can use to cook up some S'mores.
The population of Aspen is relatively small compared to the rest of the country. It is a quaint town full of culture. Although it is small, the cost of living is high. The median home sale value is at 3 million dollars.
Nantucket, Massachusetts
Nantucket has been celebrating Christmas big since the 1970s. They take the holidays seriously. In recent years, they have had an annual Christmas stroll. This usually falls in the first week of December. The festivities are wine tasting and home tours. You will end up strolling alongside tall, decorated Christmas trees. There is even a museum called Whaling Museum where you can go tree-gazing.
Nantucket is a small town with a population of about 11,000. The cost of living is high, but the place is safe to live. Like Aspen, the median home sale value is at 3 million dollars.
Cape May, New Jersey
Cape May is also known as Jersey Shore Town. The houses here are inspired by Victorian architecture. So the place gives a feel of classic and chic at the same time. During the holidays, the rows of Victorian-style houses get a Christmas spirit upgrade. The houses and trees are lined with festive lights. The grand lawn in the Congress Hall also turns into a Winter Wonderland that families can enjoy.
Cape May is another town that has a small population. The cost of living is pretty high, but it is one of the best places for first-time homebuyers. The neighborhoods are great, and the place is safe to live. The median home sale value is around 600 thousand dollars.
Final Thoughts
These are just some of the best towns with holiday spirit. You can choose between a chilly holiday celebration by the sea or up in the mountains with a lot of snow. But definitely expect a whole love of Christmas vibe and activities in any of these towns.
