What’s the best Christmas town in Missouri?

Saint Charles, which is arguably one of the state's most lovely communities all year round, is transformed into a winter paradise during the Christmas festivities. It's ideal for holiday shopping and dining due to its attractive eateries and quant stores. The charming village, decked out in traditional holiday decorations, provides seasonal activities where guests can roast chestnuts over an open fire, take in traditional carolers' singing of Christmas songs, and ride in an antique horse-drawn carriage for a tour of the village.

What are some fun things to do during Christmas time in Missouri?

There are so many fun things to do around Christmas in Missouri, from holiday drives to light displays. Consider taking a delightful day trip or maybe a weekend trip to one of Missouri's most attractive Christmas towns. There is no better location for a holiday getaway than the adorable village of Noel. Also, bring your Christmas cards so you can add a special seasonal touch by having them postmarked "Noel." Explore Main Street in Historic Downtown St. Charles, which is lined with charming stores, unique restaurants, and holiday ornaments.
