Discover These Charming U.S. Destinations Perfect for a Christmas Getaway
With the holidays around the corner, many of us might be planning a trip back home, but Christmas can also be a magical time to explore other cities. We recently came across a fantastic video that lists the 10 Best Places to Visit During Christmas in the USA. This video from Discover Top 10 Places got us super excited about potential holiday travel destinations, and we think you’ll love it too.
The video starts by emphasizing that while Europe is famous for its Christmas celebrations, there are many wonderful places in the USA to enjoy festive holiday cheer. They kick off their list with Charlotte, North Carolina, known for its ice skating at the Whitewater Center and its massive Southern Christmas Show. The vibrant holiday displays and special events make it a joyful place to visit. We're fans of cities that offer a range of activities for kids, and Charlotte definitely fits the bill.
Another recommended destination is Park City, Utah. Nestled in the mountains and close to the airport, it's a perfect spot for a quick family getaway. Highlights include the Christmas Eve Torchlight Parade and Santa skiing down the hill on Christmas Eve. The scenic Main Street is also a great place for holiday shopping. We love the idea of snow-filled fun, making it an ideal spot for families to enjoy winter sports and festive celebrations.
Of course, no list would be complete without mentioning New York City, which tops their list. With iconic holiday attractions like the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, ice skating under the city’s iconic skyscrapers, and a walk in Central Park turned winter wonderland, NYC is truly magical during Christmas. The video also suggests visiting holiday markets like Union Square and Bryant Park for unique gifts and, of course, the delicious hot chocolate. This bustling city offers a lot for families looking to soak in some holiday spirit.
The video neatly summarizes other great spots like Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with its Winter Lights and Nutcracker ballet performances, and Charleston, South Carolina, where historic homes and plantations are beautifully decorated. For those looking for warmer weather, Newport Beach, California, hosts a Christmas Boat Parade, making it possible to enjoy festive vibes without the chill.
