What are some Michigan Christmas towns?
Michigan certainly has some wonderful small towns that come alive during the holidays. It is no secret that Frankenmuth is one of the most popular Christmas towns in the U.S., if not the world. But there are plenty more towns in Michigan that deserve a visit. Here are a few popular Christmas towns in Michigan for you to enjoy:
- Kalamazoo: In southwest Michigan, you'll find this lovely scenic town with a wonderful walkable downtown. It is one of the quaint Christmas towns that should be on a holiday card - especially when the snow starts to fall in light fluffy balls of Christmas magic. The Mall, as the downtown area is called, is quite festive all lit up at night, and the small shops, cafes, coffee shops, and restaurants are a joy to explore. If you head to Bronson Park, you'll find a path lined with giant candy canes. It is also where the town's tree lighting ceremony takes place.
- Rochester: Not only are small towns in Michigan centers for holiday cheer, but the larger towns get in the spirit too. Rochester is just north of Detroit so it has that big-city yet small-town feel. It's Big, Bright Light Show is a wonderful event that sings with holiday cheer. All of the storefronts are glowing bright so it is a fantastic time to take a holiday light stroll.
- Mackinac Island: If you have never been to Mackinac Island, it is an amazing little self-contained island that is worth a visit any time of the year. But when Christmas rolls around, it takes on an even more special vibe. You can walk or bike across the entire island enjoying cute shops, cafes, toy stores, and plenty of festive lights. It is a wonderful Christmas village in Michigan.
These are only a few of the many wonderful Christmas towns in Michigan. If you want to get the full effect of how many places there are to explore, try taking this holiday road trip through Michigan. You can even rent an RV from RVShare if you don't have one of your own.
