We’re already halfway through November and if you haven’t planned your holiday vacations yet, well, I got you covered.
Christmas is a great time to travel, especially in other countries where you can discover, explore and experience how other cultures celebrate this yuletide season. But if you are just about to plan out your international trip, I’m pretty sure the prices are already soaring high at this time.
But who says that you need to go out of the country to have a unique holiday experience? Here are 5 American Towns where you can spend a unique and fun Christmas this year:
Woodstock, Vermont
For a more traditional Christmas celebration, head to the snowy town of Woodstock in Vermont and experience various festivities such as Christmas Concerts, a lantern parade called “A River of Light in Waterbury,” and of course, the Winter Wassail Weekend, which is one of Vermont’s Top Ten Winter Events.
The highlight of this 2-day event is the parade of more than fifty horses and riders in fine Victorian holiday attire, as well as carolers and other participants in their best holiday costumes – just like in the Hallmark movies and Christmas cards.
Delray Beach, Florida
Take a break from your usual White Christmas celebration and experience a beachy holiday in this coastal city in Palm Beach County, Florida.
