The One Arizona Village That Transforms Into A Christmas Wonderland Each Year

Lake Havasu City might be home to 50,000 people, but few would ever guess that after taking a stroll through its quaint English village. This part of town, including the famed London Bridge, is set ablaze with nearly one million lights at Christmastime. Lake Havasu City is a very special place for Christmas in Arizona. See for yourself:

Beginning the day after Thanksgiving each year, this quaint English village transforms into a magical winter wonderland. Over one million lights illuminate the entire city in a glow that can be seen from Santa's Workshop.

Christmas in Arizona

A Lake Havasu Christmas sounds amazing! What other towns in Arizona are fun to visit during the Christmas season?

Most places in Arizona don’t get snow in December, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be the ultimate winter wonderland for you and your family at Christmastime! You’ll love visiting Lake Havasu, but you should also check out Flagstaff, Glendale, Mesa, Phoenix, Tucson, and others for incredible Christmas decorations and festivities. Visit the websites of each of the above cities to learn more about their celebrations and holiday schedules.

What’s so great about Christmas in Arizona? 

We really think that you’ll love Christmas in Arizona so much that once you visit the Grand Canyon State for Christmas, you’ll never want to go anywhere else for the holidays ever again! Plus, if you really want to enjoy some snow during Christmas, you can always visit the northern country for plenty of it! The towns in Arizona really get into the decorative aspect of the holiday, you can spend time indoors or outdoors, and we have a town literally called Christmas (and another one named Santa Claus!). These are all great reasons to spend Christmas in Arizona, and there are many more, too! 

I really love Christmas lights! Can you suggest a good route for an Arizona road trip where I can see the very best?

Absolutely! This road trip starts in Prescott and takes you to Sedona, Flagstaff, Williams, and more, for a very happy holiday light show. Enjoy!
