What Are The Best Ways To Spend Christmas In Maine?
- The Christmas Forest, located in Perry, is one of the most off-the-beaten-path Christmas attractions in the state - but it's stunning enough that it's worth the drive. This is a 1/4th-mile trail that guides you through a forest filled with over 50,000 multi-colored lights. For animal lovers, you also have the opportunity to meet a donkey named Prancer owned by the farm, and donations go to save other animals. It's the kind of small-town delight that makes the holidays great.
- The Boothbay Railway Village Museum is home to maybe the most enchanting Christmas attraction in all of Maine, as the famous "Little Red Caboose" is transformed into the North Pole Express. Kids write a letter to Santa before boarding and meet the big man himself on board before returning to the museum for a day of railway fun and wonderful Christmas vibes - the kind you can only get with a Polar Express ride.
- Camden Harbour Inn is one of Maine's most upscale hotels - and it's also the best Christmas hotel in Maine, being transformed every holiday season into a waterfront wonderland. The hotel is cloaked in lights and decorations, and a holiday package is the perfect way to celebrate the season - complete with eggnog, cookies, and a special Christmas dinner at the on-site Natalie's Restaurant.
