Sure, there are Christmas festivities in every state in the country, but we think that Christmas in Maine is the absolute best.

But, what we do know is that spending the holidays in Maine will leave you with a heart full of cheer.

1. We get really into the holiday season...

3. Our cities are a true winter wonderland.

5. Where else will you find a tree made of lobster pots adorned with a lobster?

6. The Portland Ballet's "Victorian Nutcracker" is unique to Maine.

7. You won't find the L.L. Bean Christmas Tree anywhere near Rockefeller Center. Nope, you'll have to head north for the best tree in all the country!
